陽(yang)谷(gu)文(wen)廟位(wei)于縣城西南隅,紫(zi)石(shi)街北側(ce),景陽(yang)岡酒廠家屬院。陽(yang)谷(gu)文(wen)廟初建(jian)于宋(song)代(dai),后多(duo)次(ci)重修(xiu)擴(kuo)建(jian),形成了一個規模可觀的(de)宮殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)式古建(jian)筑群。原有大(da)成殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)5間,東(dong)西配(pei)殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)個9間,欞星門(men)各3間,并有泮池,文(wen)昌樓、明(ming)倫堂、啟圣祠、鄉賢(xian)明(ming)宦祠、敬(jing)一亭(ting)、奎星閣、尊經閣、神庫(ku)等附屬建(jian)筑。先僅存大(da)成殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)5間,東(dong)配(pei)殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)4間。大(da)成殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)是(shi)文(wen)廟的(de)主(zhu)體建(jian)筑,鑒于明(ming)成化年間,距今已有五百多(duo)年的(de)歷史(shi)。殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)外北、東(dong)、西三(san)面(mian)墻(qiang)(qiang)用(yong)青磚(zhuan)砌成,南面(mian)為(wei)(wei)木制。殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)頂起高(gao)脊,歇山式,上復筒瓦(wa),飛檐斗拱,甚為(wei)(wei)壯觀。殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)內(nei)雕梁畫柱(zhu),有14根高(gao)12米直徑約為(wei)(wei)半米的(de)筆(bi)直楠松立柱(zhu)支撐。殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)內(nei)正位(wei)原有孔子塑像(xiang),東(dong)西兩邊分列顏(yan)回、子思、曾參、孟軻“四配(pei)”塑像(xiang),其(qi)旁(pang)又各有六像(xiang),即十二哲。據(ju)說(shuo),陽(yang)谷(gu)文(wen)廟從(cong)來(lai)沒有開過(guo)南大(da)門(men),欞星門(men)用(yong)影壁(bi)墻(qiang)(qiang)阻著,出入只走兩邊小門(men),說(shuo)是(shi)因為(wei)(wei)沒出過(guo)文(wen)狀元的(de)緣故。
