Park Chung hee's House, Presidential residence in Sindang-dong, Seoul, South Korea

The two-story house spans 128 square meters, featuring a red roof and traditional courtyard within a protected perimeter in central Seoul.

From 1958 to 1961, President Park Chung-hee lived in this residence before moving out following his rise to power through a military coup.

The house received designation as a Registered Cultural Property in 2008, preserving the private life of South Korea's third president.

Visitors must remove their shoes upon entering the house, which operates as a museum displaying original furniture and personal belongings.

The residence later became home to Park Geun-hye, who lived there alone for one year after her father's assassination in 1979.
