332, Byeongsan-gil, Andong-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do

This hanok (traditional Korean House) lies only 500 m away from Andong’s Byeongsanseowon Confucian Academy. Byeongsanseowon Confucian Academy is one of the Confucian academies (Joseon-era places of learning and veneration of Confucian scholars) registered as a UNESCO World Heritage, and is particularly known for its beautiful harmony with the surrounding nature. Songgyehyeon likewise faces the Nakdonggang River to the front, and a 330 m-high mountain to the back, displaying the characteristic harmony of hanok with nature.
The house was named Songgyehyeon by the owner, who wanted to build a house made out of pine trees (“song”). The entire house is offered for rent, which makes it ideal for families and groups. Songgyeheon follows a strictly traditional structure of hanok, as evident in its hipped-and-gable roof, but its interior is equipped with comfortable modern facilities. The house includes both bedrooms and Korean-style ondol (under-the-heating system) rooms. One of the three bedrooms available has a queen-sized bed, while the remaining two are equipped with comfortable mats. The common space, spacious enough to host a group, has a high ceiling dominated by exposed beams. The kitchen is equipped with cooking equipment like refrigerator, gas stove, microwave oven, and utensils for guests to cook their own food. The owner of the house also enthusiastically provides detailed information on Andong’s many tourist sites.

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.
