Sze Yup Temple
The Sze Yup Temple (Chinese 四邑關帝廟) is a heritage-listed Chinese joss house and Taoist temple located at Victoria Road in the inner western Sydney suburb of Glebe in the City of Sydney local government area of New South Wales, Australia. It was built from 1898 to 1904. Properly the Sze Yup Kwan Ti Temple ("the temple of Kwan Ti of the people of the Four Counties"), it is also sometimes called the Sze Yup Temple & Joss House or Joss House and Chinese Temple. The property is owned by Trustees of the Sze Yup Temple. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999. It is one of only four pre-World War I Chinese temples that remain active in Australia.The temple venerates Kwan Ti (Guan Di), a popular deity based on Guan Yu, a military figure of the Three Kingdoms Period. Its form, and those of the grounds, reflect the architectural style of Sze Yup counties (Siyi) in Guangdong, China. The central hall (1898) holds the Kwan Ti shrine, with the later eastern and western halls (1903) serving as an ancestral hall and hall dedicated to Caishen (Choi Buk Sing, 財神), the god of wealth.
