A preserved window into the colonial era.
Wengzi Elementary School was founded in 1921 as a branch class under Japanese rule, becoming independent in 1928. Its original 1928 school buildings and a Japanese-style teacher's dormitory have survived largely intact, and were designated a municipal historic building in 2015 — giving the campus a living connection to Fengyuan's colonial-era rural school system.
翁子國小創立於1921年（日治時期），最初為分教場，1928年獨立設校。其1928年興建的原始校舍與日式宿舍保存完整，於2015年獲指定為市定歷史建築，讓校園至今仍與豐原日治時期鄉村教育體系維持著鮮活的連結。
