Overview
Seongyojang House is the former upper class residence of Lee Nae-beon (1703-1781) and his family in Gangneung, Gangwon State. It was designated as a National Folklore Cultural Heritage in 1967. The one-syllable word "Seon" in Seongyojang means boat. Gyeongpoho Lake was right in front of Seongyojang House at the time it was built, thus making is accessible by boat. <br /><br />Seongyojang House has all the features of a typical upper class residence during the Joseon period. The complex even has a large pond with a pavilion named Hwallaejeong Pavilion. While the building still blends beautifully with the surrounding nature, Seongyojang House has been well-preserved and is considered a valuable resource in the historical research of living conditions of upper class households during the Joseon dynasty.
