The Yeomgeundang, a historic home of Lee Geun, the grandson of Emperor Gojong, served as the inspiration for Joseon Wangga, a museum hotel. Yeomgeundang, built in 1807, was relocated from Jongno-gu, Seoul, to Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi-do in order to preserve the architectural legacy of the country's traditional royal dynasty.
All the roof tiles, crossbeams, rafters, pillars, foundation stones, stylobate stones, terrace stones, etc. were transported to their current locations after 5 months of demolition work, and Joseon Wangga was finished by reassembling the house for 27 months. As a result, the secret royal residence was transformed into a public area that anybody could visit and enjoy.
Experience the royal family's culture by staying at the royal residence. There are a total of 10 rooms, and each one has a bathroom, an air conditioner, a refrigerator, etc. If a reservation is made in advance, a tea ceremony set is put up in the room, and a paid breakfast of Eosuri Bap (rice combined with cow parsnip) can be provided.
The home is available for rent as a location for workshops or conventional weddings. A small pond and a well-kept trail leading to the hotel's garden, where guests can relax in the natural setting.
Visitors can take in the Joseon Dynasty's regal aura as well as traditional Korean culture and lifestyle in Joseon Wangga.

Your Host and The Team
“My wife is a writer, and she wanted to live in a hanok and write. She took me to a friend’s house who lived in a hanok in Seoungbuk-dong about 10 years ago and showed me around, and it was beautiful and nice. That’s when I thought, “I want to live in a Hanok as well” The first house I built as a Christian is a temple (laughs). But since then, I have fallen in love with the charm of Hanok. Hanok, a house with the philosophy of our ancestors, is a world-beautiful architecture with the beauty of the house itself, but it is the best comprehensive art with the idea of ‘elf-unification’.”
