[ An-dong ] An dong Kim Tae Jang Jae Sa ( Lee Sang Roo ) - Sarang Bang
Andong Kim Clan Taejangjaesa is a traditional hanok located in Taejang-ri, Seohu-myeon, Andong-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, designated as Gyeongsangbuk-do Folklore Material No. 26 on April 25, 1981. Managed by the Andong Kim clan, it is a place where they guarded 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—and held clan meetings. There are three buildings on the premises, and an ancestral rite 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. Surrounded by many old trees, it feels as if it is in the middle of a dense forest. Furthermore, boxwood and arborvitae trees are planted in neat rows on both sides of the trail leading to Taejangjaesa, and their well-trimmed appearance reflects the hard work of the Andong Kim clan in managing the property.
Isangnu Pavilion at Taejangjaesa captivates the eyes with the beautiful curves of its tiled roof, which looks like wings spread toward the sky. The elegant appearance radiating from this large, two-story wooden pavilion spanning seven bays leaves visitors in awe. Built specifically for ancestral rites, Isangnu Pavilion is quite spacious, allowing large groups of people to hold events simultaneously without any issue.
The side of the pavilion spans two bays and features a hip-and-gable roof. If you look closely at the roof, you will fall deeply in love with the soft charm of the hanok, which seems to be looking down at you with a gentle smile. The door leading to the adjacent Gojiksa is open, revealing buildings arranged in a square ('ㅁ') shape that naturally forms a courtyard in the center. Standing in the middle of this courtyard, you can feel a cozy and comfortable atmosphere.
The traditional house stands majestically on a squarely trimmed stone wall, and looking up at it, you are overwhelmed by its imposing presence. When viewing Isangnu Pavilion from the inside, the warm sunlight piercing through the hanji-papered doors creates a gentle ambiance, and the wooden carvings on the railing are as delicate and beautiful as a work of art. The stark contrast between the inside and outside creates a mysterious allure, and you can once again appreciate the charm of a hanok as the old house seamlessly blends with the surrounding natural landscape.

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.
