Joseon Dynasty Hanok– Tag –

The Gyeongju Gyodong Choi Family Old House is located next to Gyeongju Hyanggyo Confucian School and is the former home of the head Choi family, built around 1700. It is known as the home of a wealthy man during the Joseon Dynasty. You can see traditional Joseon Dynasty houses such as the Haengrangchae (room at the side of the gate), the master's Sarangchae (living room/guest room), the Anchae (main house), the shrine, and the barn. The barn is the most eye-catching part of the house and was used as a place to distribute rice to neighbors during famines.
