About the house     The residential site around Dongrakdang is located on a site along a valley stream, at Gyejeong village, Oksan-ri, Angang-up, Gyeongju-city, Gyeongsangbuk-do province. It was a residence of Lee Eonjok (1491~1553), a famous Confucian scholar of Choseon Dynasty, who was selected posthumously as one of the 4 Korean Sages by Toegye, Lee Whang. Dongrakdang was built in 1532 as an Outer Building (Sarang-chae) which was added to the existing site with the Inner Building (An-chae) and the Servants' Building (Haengrang-chae), built in 1515. Besides these buildings, there are a beautiful Jeongja named Gye-jeong and other subsidiary buildings.   Such buildings having been built by Lee's family over a long period are integrated into an organic residential complex by means of uniquely designed fences. This residence is designated as a National Treasure No.413.
