Nonsan Yun Hwang Ritual House

Yun Hwang's ancestral seat was Papyeong; his courtesy name was Deogyo and his pen name was Palsong. After passing the civil service examination at the age of 27, he held posts including Investigating Censor of the Office of the Inspector-General, Magistrate of Yeonggwang, Mayor of Jeonju and Director of the Office of the Censor-General. In 1710, the 36th year of King Sukjong, he was posthumously conferred the title of Chief State Councillor, and in the sixth month of the following year he was given the posthumous title Munjeonggong. According to the ridge-beam inscription of the ritual house, the main house was built in 1665, the sixth year of King Hyeonjong, while the gate quarters and the east and west study rooms were added in 1695, the 21st year of King Sukjong. The house consists of a straight (一-shaped) sarangchae (men's quarters) standing apart from an L-shaped (ㄱ-shaped) main house, gate quarters and study, the whole forming a square (ㅁ-shaped) layout. It is a simple mindori house, built with plain, unbracketed structural beams, and has single eaves without buyeon (extended secondary rafters), a feature characteristic of the architectural style of the central region. Behind the ritual house is Yun Hwang's tomb, and about 300 m away stand his old house and shrine, so that sites associated with him are concentrated in this one area.
