Daeseongheon House - 대성헌 (對聖軒) (built mid-18th century onward)

Daeseongheon house is located in the middle of Yangdong village on a hill just north of Mucheomdang house. It is a conventional square-shaped house of the type built by yangban aristocrats in the Joseon dynasty. In the sarangchae, or outer quarters, a plaque is hung with the name "Daeseongheon". The house is still inhabited by descendents of the original builders. It is a private home, so it is ordinarily not possible to access the interior.
