At the Bendigo Joss House you can discover more about the Chinese migrants who came to Bendigo in search of gold so long ago.
The Bendigo Joss House, a Chinese place of worship, was constructed in the late 1860s. Standing for over a century, the Bendigo Joss House is one of the few remaining original buildings of its type in Australia. It comprises a caretakers residence, temple and ancestral hall.
The main temple is dedicated to Guan-Di, the god of war and prosperity. The Chinese saw Guan-Di as a wise judge, guide, protector and provider of wealth and prosperity; factors needed for Chinese worshipers in this strange land.
