Seongyojang House is a magnificent testament to the lifestyle and architectural tastes of the Joseon Dynasty's upper class. The sprawling complex, designated as an Important Folklore Cultural Heritage site, features over 100 kan (structural units) spread across several distinct buildings, including the Anchae (women's quarters) and Sarangchae (men's quarters). The design is characterized by precise geometric window patterns, deep dark wood paneling, and gracefully curved tile roofs that showcase the refined craftsmanship of the 18th century. Exploring the estate offers a rare, immersive look into the opulent yet disciplined life of the noble Naebeon Lee family, whose descendants still reside on the property.
