1938年 成立

2016年 修复

宝誉堂原属槟榔屿杨姓殷商豪宅，后其夫人邱氏素誉晚年奉献豪宅一方土地，于1938年独资建立宝誉堂，奉献给十方信众礼佛修行。宝誉堂主祀释迦牟尼佛，是闽南式的佛寺。它的空间格局为三开间两殿两护室前带拜亭，正立面是五开间宽的牌楼面。它的空间序位为前埕、牌楼面、拜亭、左右天井、正殿、左右过水廊、护室、后天井两廊及祖牌位厅。

宝誉堂的屋顶呈曲面，中脊和插脊全作燕尾，弧形优美不拘泥。牌楼面的屋顶依明次间和梢间的关系设三幅断檐升箭口，形成富丽堂皇的三十三脊顶，脊上饰龙、鳌鱼和排头，形成丰富的天际线。2016年间宝誉堂聘请文思古建承修，屋顶瓦作、剪黏和油漆。

The building of Poh Oo Toong in Pulau Tikus, Penang initially belonged to the wealthy merchant Yeoh Cheang Seng. His wife, Yeoh Soh Oo was a devout Buddhist, allocated a parcel of their home land to build the Poh Oo Tong Buddhist Temple in 1938. Poh Oo Toong was consecrated to Sakyamuni Buddha. It is a Buddhist temple with Hokkien architectural style. The temple has a three-bay division and consisted of two halls, two wings and a front prayer pavilion. The outermost facade is designed to be a five-bay-archway. The spaces are sequenced in typical Chinese temple hierarchy. From the front, one enters into the front yard, followed by the archway facade, pavilion with side yards, main hall, walkways, side wings, rear courtyards and finally the ancestral hall.

The roof plane of Poh Oo Toong is curved from the center to its sides. The roof ridges were all constructed in the fashion of the Hokkien’s ‘swallow tail’ curves. The archway facade is topped with three parts of differential roofs abiding to the spatial hierarchies between the bays. The entire roof ensemble of Poh Oo Toong has thirty three ridges which is highly elaborate. The ridges are decorated with dragons, ao yu and pai tou. In 2016, Wensi Heritage was appointed to conduct repair works on Poh Oo Tong, which included roof tiling works, porcelain shards art pieces repair and paint works.
