Maesa Old house [Korea Quality] / 고성 최필간고택 [한국관광 품질인증]

One of the outstanding features of the Old House of Choi Pilgan in Goseong, which is currently owned by Choi Yeong-deok, is the stone wall. Listed as Gyeongsangnam-do Cultural Property No. 178, it has higher stone walls than most other traditional Korean houses once owned by a noble family in the past. The village where this house is located can be easily found, since there is a road sign at the forked road with the Old Hakdong Stone Wall on the National Road toward Impo. Visitors to this site are advised to take a leisurely walk along the ancient stone walls instead of driving around them. This head house of Jeonju Choi Clan has been passed down to the eldest son of the family for 11 generations. With an area of 6,611m², the house consists of a room next to the main gate, the main building, a detached house with a wooden porch, a master bedroom used by the head of the household, and a small warehouse. The inner gate divides the house in half, each designated for male and female members of the household as was the tradition of the noble families in the olden times.
