About this event
Hong Geon-ik House is a modern Hanok built in the 1930 that serves as a public residence open to everyone. It consists of five buildings—the Main Gatehouse, Outbuildings, Guest House, Main House, and Annex—along with a rear garden. Among the many Hanoks in Seoul, it is the only one that retains a corner gate, a well, and an ice storage facility within its rear garden. Recognized for its architectural value, it has been designated as a Seoul Metropolitan City Folk Cultural Heritage. To aid visitors in understanding and appreciating the space, regular docent tours are conducted every Sunday with a house guide. We invite you to experience the house's spaces from a unique perspective through these docent tours, which cover an introduction to the property, its aesthetics, and its architectural value. ○ Schedule: Held every Sunday in 2 sessions ( 14 PM / 16 PM) ○ Duration: Approximately 10 minutes ○ Location: Hong Geon-ik House ( 20 , 14 - 4 1 gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul) ○ Cost: Free ○ How to Apply: Seoul Public Service Reservation → Enter “Hong Geon-ik” or “Hong Geon-ik House” in the search bar → Hong Geon-ik House Regular Docent Tour (Sun) (Individual text notification will 1374 735 02 4 Important Notes ○ On-site registration is available if the number of advance reservations is insufficient. ○ Reservations can be made up to one day prior to the scheduled date. ○ If you are more than 10 minutes late, the tour will proceed according to the schedule. ○ Please contact the House to cancel.
