영문

This traditional Korean house, built in 1704 by Yi Hu-sik who served as a royal secretary during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), is the head house of the Tapdong Branch of the Goseong Yi Clan. A head house is the home where the family of the eldest male descendants of a lineage lives. The layout of the complex is typical of upper-class houses of the period and the original structures have been well-preserved.

The complex is composed of a main gate with elevated roof, men’s quarters, main quarters, a pond, and a pavilion which was built in 1775. The head house and its complex underwent an extensive repair in 1824, and the main quarters was reconstructed in 1991.

This house is said to have been built on the former site of Beopheungsa Temple which dates back to the Unified Silla period (late 7th to early 10th century). A seven-story brick pagoda dating back to this time remains standing in front of the site and is designated as National Treasure No. 16.
