Why go

Kim Myeong-gwan's House is a preserved Korean Joseon-era residence in Jeongeup, registered as a Cultural Heritage. The house belonged to Kim Myeong-gwan, a Joseon scholar-official, and preserves original Joseon-era residential architecture (sarangchae, anchae, gardens, ancestral shrine) in a hillside rural setting. For travelers seriously interested in Korean Joseon-era residential architecture beyond folk villages — at the level of an actual specific family residence — Kim Myeong-gwan's House is one of the cleaner specialty single picks. Pair with Pihyangjeong Pavilion for a Jeongeup heritage day.
