Why go

Bae Ryeom House in Gyedong (계동배렴가옥) is a traditional Korean hanok preserved in the Bukchon area of Seoul's Jongno district. The residence is associated with Bae Ryeom, a noted Korean ink painter, and reflects the domestic architecture of the early-to-mid twentieth century. Set along one of Gyedong's quiet alleys, the house features a courtyard layout typical of upper-class Seoul hanok, with wooden maru flooring, clay-tiled roofs, and layered inner and outer quarters. Visitors can explore the spatial arrangement of a lived-in heritage home and observe how traditional materials and proportions were maintained within an urban setting.
