Exploring Penang
Khoo Kongsi

The forefathers of the Khoo family who emigrated from South China built this house as a clan-house for members of the Khoo family. It was burned down in 1894--some believed, due to its resemblance to the Emperor's palace. A scaled-down version was later built in 1902. The building features a magnificent hall embellished with intricate carvings and richly ornamented beams of the finest wood bearing the mark of master craftsmen from China.
