Moksa Nae-a Governor's Residence - 목사내아 (牧使內衙) (built 1825 onward)

Naju's Moksa-nae-a (Governnor's Residence) was the official residence of the local governor during the late Joseon dynasty. According to calligraphy found on the ridgebeam, the foundation was laid on the 1st day of the 7th month of the 25th year of King Sunjo (1825), and the ridgebeam itself was installed on the 20th day of that month.

Additions to the Moksa-nae-a were made as late as 1895, when a gatehouse was built. During the Japanese colonial period (1910-1945), the house was appropriated as the residence of the Japanese governor and remodeled. Recently, the entire structure was disassembled and repaired, then reassembled in an approximation of its original form using the original materials.
