Okcheonjaesa Ritual House of the Andong Gwon Clan, Yeongdeok

The Hwasuru Pavilion of Hwasuru Complex, Yeongdeok, was first built around the 17th century and later rebuilt as a two-storey pavilion; its raised timber floor doubles as a lecture hall, making it a representative example of this region's pavilion-style ritual house architecture. Together with the main hall, which includes a jeonsacheong (a hall for preparing ritual offerings), it is of outstanding architectural value for its spatial layout and structural style. In addition, the adjoining buildings — a thatched-roof kkachigumeongjip (a house with a magpie's-nest-shaped smoke vent in its roof) and Cheongganjeong Pavilion — are relatively well preserved in structure and condition, and are important material for research into the development of commoners' houses and pavilions, giving them great heritage value. It was originally designated Gyeongsangbuk-do Tangible Cultural Heritage, Hwasuru, on 30 December 1975, but following an application on 12 April 2007 it was designated a National Folklore Cultural Heritage on 28 April 2009. This heritage site is generally open to the public, but viewing may be restricted due to the personal circumstances of the owner.
