A Seonangdang (서낭당) is a shrine that would be located near the village entrance, and dedicated to the village guardian spirit. It would normally comprise of a large tree with coloured fabric hanging from the branches, a pile of stones, and a small building.
It was believed that the village guardian spirit would ward away misfortune, disease and disasters from the village. Villagers would gather at the Seonangdang in Spring and Autumn each year to pray for a good harvest and good health.
The Korean Folk village was set up by the South Korean government in 1973 in an effort to preserve and promote the history of Korea. Open all year round, the Folk village receives around 1.8 million visitors each year.
