[ An-dong ] An dong Kim Tae Jang Jae Sa ( Lee Sang Roo ) - Big Room
Andong Kim Clan Taejangjaesa is a historic house located in Taejang-ri, Seohu-myeon, Andong-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, designated as Gyeongsangbuk-do Folk Cultural Heritage No. 26 on April 25, 1981. Managed by the Andong Kim clan, it is the place where they guarded the altar of Kim Seon-pyeong—a meritorious retainer during the reign of King Taejo of Goryeo and the progenitor of the Andong Kim clan—and held clan meetings. There are three buildings on the premises, and an ancestral memorial service is held here every year on October 10th of the lunar calendar.
Built in 1750 and having undergone several renovations to reach its present state, Taejangjaesa is adjacent to a road, yet it does not feel like it at all. Surrounded by many old trees, it feels as if it is in the middle of a dense forest. In addition, boxwood and arborvitae trees are planted in neat rows on both sides of the trail leading to Taejangjaesa, reflecting the hard work of the Andong Kim clan in managing the site.
Isangnu Pavilion at Taejangjaesa captivates the eyes with the beautiful curves of its tiled roof, which looks like wings spreading toward the sky. The elegant appearance radiating from this large, seven-bay, two-story wooden pavilion leaves visitors in awe. Built for ancestral rites, Isangnu is quite spacious, allowing many people to hold events simultaneously without any issues.
The side consists of two bays with a hipped-and-gabled roof. If you look closely at the roof, you will fall deeply into the soft charm of the hanok, which seems to look back at you with a warm smile. The door leading to the adjacent Gojiksa (caretaker's quarters) is open, revealing a 'ㅁ'-shaped building layout that naturally forms a courtyard in the center. Standing in the middle of it, you can feel a cozy and comfortable atmosphere.
The historic house sits on a well-trimmed square stone wall, and looking up at it, you are overwhelmed by its majestic appearance. Looking at Isangnu from the inside, the warm sunlight piercing through the hanji-papered doors gives a gentle feeling, and the wooden carvings on the railing are as delicate and beautiful as a work of art. The contrasting atmospheres of the inside and outside create a sense of mystery, and the sight of the historic house blending perfectly with the surrounding natural landscape allows you to experience the true charm of a hanok once again.

Hahoe Folk Village
The Hahoe Folk Village is a traditional village from the Joseon Dynasty. The village
is a valuable part of Korean culture because it preserves Joseon period-style architecture, folk traditions, valuable books, and old tradition of clan-based villages.
The village maintains old architectural styles that have been lost because of rapid modernization and development in South Korea. Aristocratic tile-roofed residences and thatched-roof servants' homes preserve the architectural styles of the Joseon Dynasty. Wonjijeongsa Pavilion and Byeongsan Confucian School are two notable structures in the village. The village has preserved the shamanist rite of Byeolsin-gut and preserved Hahoe masks used in the Hahoe Mask Dance. Another rite still practiced is the Jeulbul Nori which uses strings of fireworks fired at the base of the Buyongdae Cliff. The village was listed by the South Korea government as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2010, along with Yangdong Folk Village.
