Why go

Yeonggwang Maegandang is a preserved Joseon-era aristocratic residence in Yeonggwang, registered as a Korean Important Folk Cultural Heritage. The house preserves original layout and architectural details that document Korean upper-class residential life during late Joseon. Compared to more famous heritage homes (Seongyojang, Jaerim Lim Cheong-gak), Maegandang is quieter and offers a more contemplative single-residence visit. For travelers serious about Korean Confucian residential architecture beyond the famous folk villages, Maegandang is one of the cleaner specialty single picks.
