[ An-dong ] An dong Kim Tae Jang Jae Sa ( Lee Sang Roo ) - Middle Room
Andong Kim Clan Taejangjaesa is an old house located in Taejang-ri, Seohu-myeon, Andong-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do. It was designated as Gyeongsangbuk-do Folk Material No. 26 on April 25, 1981. Managed by the Andong Kim clan, it is a place where clan meetings were held and where the altar of Kim Seon-pyeong, a meritorious retainer during the reign of King Taejo of Goryeo and the founder of the Andong Kim clan, is protected. There are three buildings, 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 that way at all. Instead, it is surrounded by many old trees, making it feel like it is in the middle of a dense forest. In addition, boxwood and arborvitae trees are planted in rows and well-trimmed 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 visitors with the beautiful curves of its tiled roof, resembling wings spreading toward the sky. The elegant appearance radiating from the large, seven-bay, two-story wooden pavilion leaves visitors in awe. Built for ancestral rites, Isangnu Pavilion is quite large, so there is no problem hosting events with many people at once.
The side has two bays and features a hip-and-gable roof. If you look closely at the roof, you will fall in love with the gentle charm of the hanok, which seems to look back at you with a smile. The door to the adjacent Gojiksa (caretaker's quarters) is open. The building is arranged in a square ('ㅁ') shape, naturally forming a courtyard in the center. Standing in the middle, you can feel a cozy and comfortable atmosphere.
The old house stands on a neatly trimmed square stone wall, and looking up at it, you are overwhelmed by its majestic appearance. Looking at Isangnu Pavilion from the inside, warm sunlight pierces through the hanji-papered doors, giving a gentle feeling, and the wooden carvings on the railing are as delicate and beautiful as a work of art. The contrasting feelings between the inside and outside create a sense of mystery, and the sight of the old house harmonizing with the surrounding natural landscape allows you to experience the charm of 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.
