Hakindang (학인당) (Jeonju)

Hakindang is a graceful upper class home from the Joseon-era converted to a guest house in Jeonju, built in 1905, has an interesting history and is one of the oldest in the village.

Hakindang is where Baek Nak Jung, a well-known devoted son, once lived. King Gojong granted him a government position out of admiration for his filial piety.

After Baek Nak Jung died, his house was called Hakindang, after his pseudonym "lnje".
The hanging board on the gate identifies this as Baek Nak Jung`s home.

Hakindang is a Korean-style house typical of the construction techniques from the
late Joseon period. The building is also a typical example of court construction style introduced into the upper class housing after the Joseon Dynasty collapsed.

The outer men’s quarters, located immediately left from the front gate, are now used as a tea salon. The main building lying straight ahead ha an exquisitely landscaped garden with a small pond, surrounded by pine trees in front.

Hakindang is Jeollabuk-do Folklore Material #8.
