Baek Inje House, Traditional Korean hanok in Jongno District, South Korea
The residence incorporates both traditional and modern architectural elements, featuring wooden beams, tiled roofs, and connected living quarters through Japanese-style hallways.
Built in 1913 by Han Sang-ryong, executive director of Hanseong Bank, the property transferred to medical pioneer Baek In-je in 1944.
The structure includes separate areas called sarangchae and anchae, reflecting traditional Korean social organization and living arrangements from the Joseon period.
Located 464 meters from Anguk Station Exit 2, the house opens daily from 9:00 to 18:00, except Mondays, with guided tours available in multiple languages.
The residence features black pine wood from the Amnok River, which first arrived in Seoul during the 1907 Gyeongseong Exposition.
