魏氏莊園位于山東省惠民縣魏集鎮(zhèn)，是全國重點(diǎn)文物保護(hù)單位，與煙臺牟氏莊園、四川劉文彩莊園并稱為“中國三大莊園”，是國內(nèi)現(xiàn)存唯一的城堡式莊園。

魏氏莊園建于清代光緒年間，是縉紳地主魏肇慶的宅第。魏氏家族曾是魯北地區(qū)的名門望族，家族中有20多人相繼在朝為官或被皇廷封贈為官，任通奉大夫、朝議大夫、奉政大夫、戶部郎中、刑部員外郎、內(nèi)閣中書等職。延續(xù)到修建莊園的魏肇慶，已是第十代了。彼時(shí)，魏氏家族已發(fā)展到鼎盛時(shí)期，不僅在仕途上官運(yùn)亨通，在經(jīng)濟(jì)上也是富甲一方。在北京、天津、濟(jì)南、青島及惠民各地開設(shè)了十余家錢莊當(dāng)鋪，還開設(shè)了規(guī)模大小不等的手工作坊，僅在魏集老家就置有良田3000畝。相傳家中更是重金打造了棵金白菜，為后代祈祥納福。但自魏肇慶始，家族逐漸凋零，直至人去樓空。雖然今天魏氏家譜已佚散，但留下的莊園卻成為中國古代建筑的一顆明珠，也是魏氏族人留給世人的一筆珍貴財(cái)富。

魏氏莊園由樹德堂、徙義堂、福壽堂三組建筑組成，規(guī)模宏大，建筑精良，占地面積32543平方米，現(xiàn)有房屋近百間，距今已有百余年的歷史。其中樹德堂最具特色，建于清代光緒十六年，由宮廷營造社大師設(shè)計(jì)。不同于一般民宅，魏氏莊園因其濃郁的軍事防御色彩而著稱，將城垣建筑運(yùn)用于傳統(tǒng)民居之中，是孫子兵法在民居中應(yīng)用的典范。既承襲了北方建筑的對稱、嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)、雄厚之風(fēng)，又體現(xiàn)了南方建筑空間靈活多變之勢。徙義堂與福壽堂做工精細(xì)，風(fēng)格亦各有千秋，帶有明顯的地域色彩。

魏氏莊園具有深厚的文化底蘊(yùn)，體現(xiàn)了高超的建筑藝術(shù)與中華民族文化的博大精深。近年來，隨著維修、開發(fā)力度加大，內(nèi)部陳列的充實(shí)，莊園恢復(fù)其往日風(fēng)彩，成為人們感受魯北民俗文化絢麗多彩的好場所。
