Hangae Village, Seongju

Hangae Village, in Daesan 1-ri, Wolhang-myeon, Seongju-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, is a village of long tradition where the Seongsan Yi clan has lived together as a single lineage for over 570 years, since Yi U, who served as Magistrate of Jinju in the reign of King Sejong of Joseon, settled there. Nine buildings in the village are designated as heritage of Gyeongsangbuk-do, and although most of them were built between the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the overall layout of the village shows the traditional form dictated by geomancy, and the arrangement and floor plans of both the upper-class and commoner houses clearly display regional characteristics; on these grounds it has ample value as a national heritage site. This heritage is generally open to visitors, but access may be restricted owing to the personal circumstances of the owner or others.
