Sogang House [Korea Quality] / 소강고택 [한국관광 품질인증]

Located in Baraemi Village, Bonghwa, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Sogang House is a hanok that is over 100 years old. Baraemi Village, the Uiseong Kim clan village, has lots of old houses remaining, but Sogang House has an outstanding history and ambiance. The house was built around 1910 by Namho Kim Roi-sik, a renowned wealthy patriot in Gyeongsang-do, for his second son, Sogang Kim Chang-gi when he was married. Kim Roi-sik is a figure who donated the money secured on his whole possession when the Provisional Government of Korea in Shanghai was raising contributions, and received the Order of Merit for National Foundation.
Sogang House is a D-shaped hanok with the adjoining sarangchae and anchae. Even the door frame of the house is built with the chunyang pine, showing the elaboration put in its building. As it is not easily twisted or rotten, chunyang pine is the best pine for architecture that was used for building the palace, the temple, and houses of aristocrats in the Joseon period. There are six guest rooms, including Sarangbang and Eosabang. Sarangbang contains two rooms and veranda, Seonbibang is the room that sunshine comes in the earliest in the morning, and Doryeongbang is the only ondol (floor-heated) room that is built with red clay. Every room has an air-conditioner and the lovely garden with a flower tree is seen through the open window.
