Gyeongju Seokbinggo

The Gyeongju Seokbinggo features a vaulted roof with three ventilation shafts and measures 18.8 meters in length, 5.94 meters in width, and 4.97 meters in height.

Built initially as a wooden structure in Wolseong Fortress during 1738, the ice house was reconstructed in stone and relocated to its current location in 1742.

The structure demonstrates Korean engineering methods for food preservation, utilizing natural materials and architectural techniques to maintain cold temperatures throughout the year.

Visitors can access the ice house through its southern entrance via a staircase, with the Department of Culture and Tourism of Gyeongju managing the site.

The building contains over one thousand granite stones and features lime-enhanced walls and floors to maximize its cold storage capabilities.
