Cheonggye Village School, Haman

Cheonggye Village School, located at 116-12 Cheonggye 1-gil, Chilseo-myeon, Haman-gun, is said to have been built in 1670, the 11th year of King Hyeonjong, and was later restored in 1918, bringing it to its present form. As a result, the structure of its lecture hall and its windows and doors clearly show the characteristics of a modern-period Korean house. The strip-latticed windows (ddisalchang) in front of the ondol-heated room and the folding doors between the wooden-floored hall and the adjoining room are features not found in traditional architecture; they reflect the changing architectural culture and attitudes to living space introduced from abroad after the opening of the ports, and illustrate well how traditional architecture was transformed. As a modest building that reflects both modernity and local character, it has heritage and academic value, and for this reason its lecture hall (one building) within the precinct has been designated a Gyeongsangnam-do Cultural Heritage Material.
