Juiljae was built by Yu Manha, a great grandson of Yu Seongnyong (1542-1607), when he left Chunghyodang, the family residence, to set up his own home. It was later expanded by his son Yu Hujang (1650-1706) whose pen name Juiljae was given to it.
Yu Hujang was much respected for his mastery of the Book of Changes, the Chinese classic of divination, and the teachings of Korean philosopher Toegye Yi Hwang.
He also served in a number of public posts, the highest of which was Third Minister. The house is representative of typical upper-class yangban residences in Korea. The sarangchae, or outer quarters, is separated from the anchae, or the inner quarters. The family shrine is located to the northeast. A storage area is adjacent to the anchae.
