Gyeongsangbuk-do(Bonghwa-gun)

Situated beneath a low mountain in the southern area of Uiyang-ri, Chunyang-myeon, the east-facing The Old House of Mansan consists of a long haengrangchae (servants’ quarters, measuring 9-kan), a tall gate, a large courtyard, and a square-shaped bonchae (main building measuring 5 kan at the front and seven kan at the sides) in which the sarangchae (men’s quarters) and the anchae (women’s quarters) are connected. Unusually, the sarangchae faces east (it typically faces south), while the anbang (main living room) faces south. Consequently, the Jungmun Gate, the entrance to the anchae, faces north so as not to expose the anchae to exterior elements including cold winds. The sarangchae consists of a daecheong (main floored room) and a sarangbang room as well as a toetgan, a gamsil, a marubang (floored room), and a golbang (small room). The anchae, which surrounds the inner courtyard, comprises an anbang facing south, a witbang (upper room), and a ggumim marubang (floored room), which links to a warehouse, a kitchen, and a junggangbang (middle room). This wealthy house was built with high-quality wood and construction materials.
