'Suaedang Traditional House was built by Ryu Jin-geol, also known by his pen-name of Suae, in 1939. This hanok-style house consists of three buildings that measure 29-kan (a traditional measurement that corresponds to the space between two columns) in total. The main room, or jeongchim (7-kan at front and 2-kan at sides), has a half-hipped roof, and forms a‘ㄱ’-shape with the storeroom (10-kan at front), which also has a half-hipped roof. Originally located at 612 Sugok-dong, Andong-si, the house was relocated from a slight slope to a flat piece of land due to the construction of Imha Dam in 1987. Consequently, the Jeongchim was rebuilt at a lower level than before. The Suaedang was renovated by modernizing the old-style facilities including the kitchen, toilets, and washroom without changing their external features, while the rooms and daecheongmaru (main floored room) were decorated with red clay and natural paint. Suaedang, with its beautiful panoramic view of the lake, was designated as Gyeongsangbuk-do Cultural Property No. 56.

Nosongjeong, also called the “Placenta Chamber of Yi Hwang” (pen-name: Toegye, 1501-1570), is named after the pen-name ‘Nosong’ of Yi Hwang’s grandfather Yi Gye-yang. It is said that Yi Gye-yang abandoned his government position after he fell victim to the Gyeyujeongnan Suppression (a coup d’état instigated by Suyang Prince, who became King Sejo of Joseon, in 1455) and returned to his hometown in Bonghwa, where he devoted himself to teaching students. He built the house in its current location by a coincidence of saving a monk. The Placenta Chamber of Yi Hwang, which is situated deep in the house, consists of an Ondol (Korean floor heating) Room and a small numaru (upper floor) with a unique design. The gate bears a signboard with the word ‘Seonglimmun’ written by Hakbong Kim Seong-il (a direct disciple of Yi Hwang), which derives from the fact that the mother of Yi Hwang, Chuncheon Park, had a conception dream about Confucius entering the main gate with his disciples. Nosongjeong has an Ondol room in the west, with a numaru and a maru (wooden floor) in the east, which could accommodate 20 to 30 students. The signboard of Noseongjeong is believed to have been written by Han Seok-bong (a leading calligrapher of the mid-Joseon period). The structure of Nosongjeong is considered an invaluable resource for studies on the principles of building a half-hipped roof. The shrine is situated east of Nosongjeong, between which there was a juniper aged over 400 years from which the name of Nosongjeong was originated as people called the juniper as an old (no) pine (song). However, the original juniper has been replaced by its younger juniper tree with an umbrella shape of the top.

Ongyejongtaek Sambaekdang is a hanok restored on the site where Ongye Yihae, older brother of Toegye Yi Hwang, used to live. Being the headquarters of the rightoue army against the Japanese, the house was burned by the Japanese military authority in 1896 but restored with support from the government and others, and it was finally completed in May 2011. It is the 500-year old chestnut tree, symbol of the village, which welcomes guests first. The house itself is not old but the atmosphere of the family dominates the building with dignity. Small decorations such as a wooden table, floor cushions, and mother-of-pearl furniture pieces are all nice to look at. There are 7 rooms altogether with bathrooms or air conditioners depending on the room size. There are a shared shower facility and a laundromat outside the rooms, with shared kitchen, warehouse, and a big floor. Cooking is not allowed in the rooms but outdoor barbecue facilities are available for a group of 10 or more who inquire in advance. Tea ware pouch making or Hanji craft programs are conducted based on the reservation at a charge. In the village where the house is located, there are several historic and natural sites such as Nosongjeongjongtaek where Toegye Yihwang was born, Nongamjongtaek, Toegyejongtaek, Dosanseowon Confucian Academy, Advanced Center for Korean Studies, Cheongryangsa Temple, and Dosan Spa.
