1863年 成立

2009年 修复

上帝庙位于亚答街，重建于光绪十五年（1889年），它不仅仅是古晋民众民俗活动的圣地，也是古晋潮州公会的发源地。玄天上帝庙属于潮式建筑，前面与街道相隔形成前埕，有两尊石狮守门。庙的格局为三开间，前后共两进深，有着十份典型的潮式宫庙平面布局。从外至内的空间顺序为前埕、前殿（一进）、拜亭，最后到正殿（二进）。拜亭位于前殿及正殿之间，两旁作龙虎井，助于采光，因此庙呈工字形平面。上帝庙的屋顶前后相连，屋面铺板瓦及筒瓦。前殿的屋檐受承于潮式的龙头榉，中脊作卷草翘脊，饰双龙戏珠。

 

酬神的戏台就立在上帝庙的街对面，夹在排屋之间。戏台为砖木构造，歇山屋顶。文思古建于2009年到古晋承修玄天上帝主庙及戏台，主要部分为木结构、屋顶瓦作、剪黏等等。

 

 

Hiang Thian Siang Ti Temple at Carpenter Street, Kuching was reconstructed in the year of 1889. It is not just the cultural center of the Kuching Chinese but also the cradle of Kuching Teochew Association. The temple belongs to Teochew architecture. Its facade is set away from the street edge, hence creating a front yard between the street and the temple, which is guarded by two stone lion statues. The temple has an elongated spatial structure with three bays and two sections configured on the basis of a classical Teochew temple. The prayer pavilion in the middle is served by two courtyards at both sides and it is wedged between the front hall and the main hall. The three spaces interconnect to form an I-shaped ensemble. The roofs of these spaces are joined as well, tiled with alternate curved and semi-cylindrical tiles.  The roof eave of the front hall is supported by eave beams shaped as heads of dragons, which is a hint of its Teochew stylistic influence. The central roof ridge is curved at the ends and finished with rinceaux moulding, , where two sculptural dragons could be seen crouching above it.

 

The stage is at the opposite side of the street, inconspicuously sandwiched between other adjoining shophouses. The stage is constructed with masonry and timber structure with a traditional Chinese hip-and-gable roof. Both the temple and the stage were restored in 2009 by Wensi Heritage particularly in the areas of roof works, timber structures, porcelain shard sculptures and colour paintings.
