Frommer's Staff

This is the former home of nobleman Lee Naebeon, and 10 generations of his descendents have since lived here. Built over 300 years ago, it is remarkably well preserved and reachable by boat from Gyeongpo Lake. Some additions have been made since its original construction, including the Yeolhwadang's terrace, a gift from Russia, and the Hwallaejeong, a picturesque structure, especially when surrounded by the blooming lotus flowers in August.
