Official Residence, Seoul National University Southern Experimental Forest (Gwangyang)

Beyond the quiet yard, red bricks with deep traces of time gone by and faded wooden buildings come together to create a calm atmosphere. Built in 1919 during the Japanese colonial period for the purpose of managing the southern training forest, this official residence maintains its unique Japanese-style housing structure, with two buildings placed next to each other, to this day. The lower part of the outer wall is made of bricks, and the upper part is made of white plaster and wooden planks, vividly showing the residential style of the time. The design, in which rooms are elaborately arranged around a long interior hallway, has high academic value as a nationally registered cultural heritage and has high significance as a place for history education. Without losing the structure of the Jeoksan house that has withstood the test of time, it is currently operated as a warm space where both local residents and travelers can relax comfortably in the city. Take off your shoes and enter the cozy interior space, take a look at the unique residential structure, and take a quiet walk around the green lawn to deeply appreciate the history and atmosphere of a century ago.
