Stone Salt Storehouse on Jeungdo Island, Sinan

This building is a salt storehouse built using stone blasted from a quarry in the area when Taepyeong Salt Farm was created. In the late 1980s, once wooden storehouses had been built, it was used as a materials store; then in July 2007 it was partially remodelled, keeping both its exterior and interior as they were, and reopened as a salt museum. Because it retains the original appearance of a stone-built salt storehouse, it holds great significance both for the history of salt farming and for the history of stone architecture.
