About the house Andong Kwon-xi Neungdong-jaesa is placed on the foot of a mountain, at Seonggok-dong, Seohu-myeon, Andong city, Gyeongsangbuk-do province. This house was first built in 1653, and rebuilt in 1896 after being mostly destroyed by fire. The house consists of two territories; one is a main territory that is composed of the main building, the east and west dormitories, and the gate pavilion named Chuwon-lu; the other is a support territory that is composed of two service buildings and the jusa (kitchen building). The former territory has a layout and the building types that were generally adopted in the Confucian academy, while the latter one has those of the ordinary housing. Jaesa, the ancestor worship house, is a facility for preparing the ancestral worship service performed at the ancestral graveyard. |
