Gyeonggyojang, Historic house in Jongno District, Seoul, South Korea
The cream-colored two-story building contains traditional Japanese architectural elements, including tatami mats, sliding doors, and a mother-of-pearl inlay table.
Built in 1938 by mining businessman Choe Changhak, the residence later became the headquarters of the Korean Provisional Government after the liberation from Japanese rule.
The memorial exhibition in the basement displays artifacts related to nationalist Kim Ku, including his personal belongings and documents from the independence movement.
Located near Seodaemun Station Line 5, the house opens daily except Mondays from 9:00 to 18:00, with free admission and facilities for disabled visitors.
The dining room features a dumbwaiter system connecting to the basement kitchen, while the second floor preserves the study where Kim Ku practiced calligraphy.
