Former Noksan Elementary School Building on Sorokdo Island, Goheung

Built in 1935, this building was the school building of a common school (as elementary schools were then called under Japanese colonial rule) established for Hansen's disease patients. The rectangular main building is linked to the toilets and shower room by a corridor, and it was laid out in a manner similar to school architecture today, with classrooms placed on the south side and a corridor along the north. It is significant as an elementary school that was independently established specifically for Hansen's disease patients.
