Doyeonjae Hall

This building is a jaesil — a hall for teaching Confucian students and holding ancestral rites — built by local Confucian scholars in 1886, the first year of Emperor Gojong's reign, to honour the lofty ideals of Kim Jong-jik (1431–1492), pen name Jeompiljae. Doyeonjae stands about 100 m southwest of the clan's head house. It is a straight-line building measuring five bays across the front and two bays deep, with a gable roof, a five-purlin frame, and soro-sujang style bracketing. A raised, wooden-floored pavilion occupies the front left of the building, with a storage space beneath it. To the right is an open-fronted wooden-floored hall, with paired hinged wooden doors fitted in each bay of the right and rear walls. To the left of the hall is a two-bay heated room with a narrow veranda across its front, and a folding door of two leaves is set between the hall and the room so that the two spaces can be opened into one. The gatehouse is a gable-roofed building of three bays across the front and one bay deep, with a privy on the left, the main gate passage in the centre, and a room on the right.
