The Erjie Rice Barn, also known as the Erjie Peasant Association Barn, ({{zh|t=二結農會穀倉|s=二结农会谷仓|first=t|p=Èrjié Nónghuì Gǔcāng}}) is a former barn in Wujie Township, Yilan County, Taiwan.

History

The Erjie Rice Barn was built in 1928, when Taiwan was under Japanese rule. In 1935, a large brick storage warehouse and a mill were added to store public grain in the Wujie Township area. The warehouses were expanded in 1937 and 1953. During the Second World War, the Erjie Peasant Association Barn was responsible for purchasing rice on the south bank of the Lanyang River. In 1993, the barn ceased to be used for rice storage .

The Erjie Rice Barn was announced as a county-level monument on 12 August 1998.{{Cite web|url=https://nchdb.boch.gov.tw/assets/advanceSearch/monument/19980812000001|title=二結農會穀倉|last=|first=|date=|website=|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=}} Its upkeep is currently entrusted to the Erjie Cultural Foundation.
