Juiljae House - 주일재 (主一齋) (built 17th century onward)

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 Hu-jang (1650-1706) whose pen name Juiljae was given to it.

Yu Hu-jang 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.
