A sprawling old hanok tucked into the Gyochon lanes. The family produced rich landowners for twelve generations, and the main quarters, guest hall and storehouses open one courtyard into the next. Tiled roofs stack up over the earthen walls, and the place rewards a slow walk. Knowing the family shared its grain with neighbors makes you pause at the storehouse. It fits neatly into a 20 to 30 minute stop on the way to Woljeonggyo.
