Once used as the site of the former headquarters of the Chinese Red Army, a building next to a church in Fujian Province was reclaimed as a place for church administrative work and fellowship activities.
This is the former site of Yangzheng Girls’ School built by a Zhangpu church more than 120 years ago. Commonly known as “Red Mansion”, it was once the military office for the Red Army that liberated Zhangpu on April 24, 1932, and established the Zhangpu County Revolutionary Committee. They engaged in fighting local tyrants and dividing the land in the urban and rural areas, establishing the Soviet power and Soviet districts in Nanjing County, Heping County, and Zhangpu Country, as well as the Red Army independent battalion in the Zhangpu Soviet area.
Listed as a cultural relic protection unit in Zhangpu County by the Zhangpu County People's Government in April 1984, it was designated as the Fujian Provincial Party History Education Base by the Party History Research Office of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee in June 2011. It was announced by the Fujian Provincial People's Government among the eighth batch of provincial-level cultural relics protection units on January 28, 2013, becoming a revolutionary traditional education base.
The Zhangpu County Government returned the building property in January 2020 to Puyi Church in Zhangpu County which decorated the red mansion for more than half a year and built a two-story dormitory building. As well as being used for the administrative work of Zhangpu County Christian Council and Puyi Church, the building is also used for the church’s meetings, and activities of Morning Light Fellowship, Nissi Fellowship, and Youth Fellowship, easing the shortage of church space.

中国东南沿海的福建省一教堂边上的一幢楼曾作为中国红军军部旧址的，被收回作为教会办公和团契活动的场所。
120多年前漳浦基督教会创办的女子学堂的旧址，俗称“红楼”。1932年4月24日，中央红军东路军第三军解放漳浦，成立漳浦县革命委员会，在漳浦广大城乡开展打土豪、分田地，建立苏维埃政权，创建靖和浦苏区，并在漳浦苏区成立红军独立大队。当时，第三军军部就设在红楼。
1984年4月就被漳浦县人民政府定为漳浦县文物保护单位，2011年6月被福建省委党史研究室公布为福建省党史教育基地。2013年1月28日被福建省人民政府公布为第八批省级文物保护单位，成为革命传统教育基地。
漳浦县政府2020年1月落实教产，将红楼归还漳浦县基督教浦邑堂管理，堂会经半年多时间的装修（并建二层的宿舍楼），红楼分别设立漳浦县基督教协会办公室、浦邑堂办公室、会议室和晨光团契、尼西团契、和青年团契等的活动地点，缓解堂会办公、团契活动紧张的状况。
