Samsojae Hall

This building is said to have been built in 1674, the 15th year of King Hyeonjong of Joseon, by Kim Yong-chu, an 18th-generation descendant of the founding ancestor of the Seon-andong Sangnak Kim clan. The house takes its name from the pen name of Kim Yeong-rak, a fifth-generation descendant of Lord Yongchu; Samso signifies living in Sosan, behaving with integrity, and eating simple food. It is a six-bay-front, five-bay-side ㅁ-shaped (square, courtyard) house in which the anchae, the main quarters, and the sarangchae, the men's quarters, are joined, though their roofs are finished separately. The roof is a hipped-and-gabled (paljak) roof, whose side profile forms the shape of the Chinese character 八 (eight). Of particular note are a rice chest placed in the room across from the main daecheong, the wooden-floored hall, and a loft set above the cattle shed in the manner of a kitchen loft.
