Yeonggwang Sin Ho-jun House

This is the house of the Yeongwol Sin clan, which became renowned around the time of the Japanese invasions of 1592–98 (the Imjin War) for producing Seongjae Sin Eung-sun (1572–1636) and Sin Eung-mang (1595–1654). It is said that Sin Am-gyu (1815–1886) later carried out major renovations. It is a large residence made up of eleven buildings in total, including the main hall and the sarangchae (men's quarters). The main hall is an L-shaped building in the central-region style, with a small room, a daecheong (wooden-floored hall), two rooms, a wooden-floored room, the main bedroom and a kitchen arranged in sequence. The sarangchae is a straight building made up of a daecheong, a room and a small side room; narrow wooden verandas (toenmaru) run along the front and back, but only from the southern end up to the front of the daecheong.
