袁氏大屋(Yuen's Mansion),又名“余德利围”,是一座位于香港大屿山梅窝涌口桥头村的特色古屋。该古屋建于1920至1940年代。在2009年12月18日评定为二级历史建筑,建筑群共包含主屋(编号241)、前屋(编号245)、谷仓(编号246)、东更楼(编号242)、西更楼(编号244)及邻接东更楼的小屋(编号243)[1]

袁氏大屋是由中国国民党前委员袁华照所建,二次大战时期曾发挥暸望及防御日军侵袭的功能。该屋的一部分现时已荒废,另一部分则为附近渡假屋的工人宿舍。该屋仍存有大炮一台[2]。梅窝四大更楼(瞭望台)便是由这两座更楼、鹿地塘更楼和蝴蝶山已坍塌的更楼所组成。

该屋目前属于私人地方,现在的业主是袁家第三代继承人袁哲之,一般情况下禁止外人进入。[3][4]

HKU Theses Online AUTHOR (Architect): Lee, Chung-ming, Eric. 李仲明 TITLE: 'The vanishing watchtower farmhouse discovering the cultural significance of a historical vernacular landscape in Mui Wo, Lantau Island'. NATURE: Thesis (M.Sc.)--University of Hong Kong YEAR: 2005

P.28 'The architecture of the stone watchtower is an exceptional example of atypical design when compared to most of the other watchtowers in other villages. Unlike other typical villages, none of the buildings were being aligned in a straight line or parallel or perpendicular to each other. Instead, they were articulated in such a unusual way that each building is offset at an offset angle to each other.'

P.29 'The stone watchtower and stone farmhouses clustered to form an atypical fortified vernacular settlement. Very defensive in nature, the setting and alignment of buildings are purposely designed not parallel but offset from each other, thus creating many hidden corners and distracted vista...'

P.29 '... the characteristic obstructed sightline, recessed openings, hidden corners, change of levels, reversed position of dwellings, verandah and flat roofs overlooking open space, odd layout and alignment of buildings, all designed to help defend invaders' progression into the interior of the farmhouse. This kind of defensive layout, which is uncommon among local villages, resembles that of a medieval fortified complex.'
