The facts

Seongyojang House, located in the city of Gangneung, Gangwon Province of Korea, is a Korean traditional Hanok house of a noble family. From the founder Lee Naebeon, the house has been inherited and well-preserved through 10 generations for 300 years. The house was designated as Important Folklore Material No. 5 of Korea in 1967.

Seongyojang House is a big mansion consisting of several buildings and 12 gates, which is typical of an upper-class family’s house. The house these days has turned to a place for cultural education for visitors while offsprings of the founder Lee are still residing in a part of the mansion. Some of the buildings are open to visitors for overnight Hanok Stay and some other buildings have become museums and classrooms for cultural learning.

Seongyojang House gained a lot of popularity and was visited by more tourists especially after a famous K-drama “The Princess' Man” was filmed in the place.

In 2000, KBS (Korea Broadcasting System) selected Seongyojang House as the best traditional Korean house in the country.
