Yeongsan Sin Clan Old House 1, Changnyeong

This house was home to the Yeongsan Sin clan some 200 years ago, with the anchae (women's main quarters) and the sarangchae (men's reception quarters) standing side by side, one behind the other. Each is laid out as an independent, enclosed space — the anchae forming a fully closed, box-shaped (ㅁ-shaped) plan and the sarangchae a U-shaped (ㄷ-shaped) plan — giving a clear separation between the spaces used by men and by women. The house preserves the typical form of a wealthy farming family's residence and offers a glimpse of Confucian tradition in domestic architecture.
