Why go

Andong Jinsung Yi Clan Head House is a preserved Joseon-era yangban head-family residence in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do — a jongtaek, the ancestral seat of the Jinsung Yi clan, one of the prominent yangban families with roots in the Andong area. The compound includes the typical Joseon-era yangban arrangement of multiple sarangchae (men's quarters), anchae (women's inner quarters), gobi (servant's quarters), an ancestral shrine, and storage buildings. The Andong location places the house within the broader Andong-area UNESCO heritage context. Best for travelers serious about Joseon-era yangban culture and clan history, paired with broader Andong-area itineraries.
