House of Seon Byeong-guk :


House of Seon Byeong-guk was built by Seon Jeong-hun from 1919 to 1921. Seon Jeong-hun, the richest person in the area, educated talented people in the village, and took care of travelers. It is the ideal spot so many people studying the theory of divination based on topography have visited here.

The private houses of the Joseon dynasty period were restricted their size and the number of rooms. In King Sejong period, ordinary people could have 10 rooms and yangban could have 60 rooms. In the late Joseon period, however, housing regulation was destroyed, and people could built houses with their financial power discerning eye. House of Seon Byeong-guk was built by the big landowner Seon Byeong-guk based on changed era and Housing viewpoint. So it is not elegant as much as traditional houses, but it is so active. Now Seon Min-hyeok and Seon Sa-hyeok, the offspring of the home owner, are living in the house. House of Seon Byeong-guk is No. 134 important folk data.






The house consists of the detached house, the main building and shrine. Each space is surrounded by inside wall, and the whole space is surrounded by outside wall again. There is a tall gate in the middle of outside wall. And you can see the wall surrounding the detached house and the inner gate beyond the huge yard after entering the tall gate.






The detached house became traditional tea house, and has been open to visitors. You can feel the atmosphere of the house while looking around flower bed, wall, forest, persimmon tree, pine tree, crock and eaves.


Even though it is a traditional house, it is different from the houses of yangban in the Joseon dynasty period. Huge granite stone stylobate and eight angles foundation stone were not found in ordinary houses in the past. Large space, fine lumber and stylish frame of a paper sliding door are so splendid. It is not like the atmosphere of the traditional Korean house.










This is Hyoyeolmun. It is a low building that was built to make people express their respect. I didn't know that, and walked with my back straight. Then I bumped my head against it.






This is the memorial stone for gratitude which is made of steel. Tenants made it as a token of thanks for Seon family who grew in virtues.








It has been called the ideal spot. The main building is heading to the south, being surrounded with the mountain.






The main building below is the same.







The size and the shape of the main building are the same with those of a detached house. But it is lower than the detached house.






The round pillar was allowed only to royal palace in the Joseon dynasty period. The private houses could use only quadrangle pillar. However, this regulation was broken in 1920s when the house was established.
