Toegye Head House
This house is the head house of the schoar Yi Hwang (1501 - 1570, pen name: Toegye). A head house is a residence passed down among the male successors of a family lineage. It is said to have been first built by Yi Hwang's eldest grandson Yi An-do (1541-1584). The original house burnt down in 1907, and the current house was newly built from 1926 to 1929 by Yi Hwang's 13th generation descendant Yi Chung-ho (1872 - 1951). The complex consists of a living quarters area, a pavilion area, and a shrine area, each surrounded by their own stone enclosure wall. The living quarters area consists of a men's quarters, a women's quarters, and a servants' quarters with an elevated main gate. Hanging inside the main gate is a commemorative plaque honoring the matrimonial devotion of Yi An-do's wife. Lady Gwon of the Andong Gwon Clan. The gate leading to the pavilion area features a hanging plaque that reads the 'Old House of Toegye.' The pavilion, named Chuwolhansujeong, was first built in 1715 by the civil official Gwon Du-gyeong (1654 - 1725) to commemorate Yi Hwang. It was destroyed in 1896, and the current pavilion was newly built in 1926 with funds raised by the Yi family.
