Caption / Description:

A reconstruction of a farmer's house at the Korean Folk Village in Gyeonggi-do province, South Korea.

The Korean Folk village features over 250 buildings, from across Korea, recreating the late Joseon period of Korean history. This farmer's house was from the central region of Korea during the 19th Century.

The house consists of four buildings, the inner wing is simply structured with a small wooden floor veranda in front of the room. The drawing room wing consists of two large rooms, connected by a cow shed and a barn. The building located on the right side has no wooden floors and comprises only a spacious kitchen and an earthen floor room connected to it. The gate wing is made of one room and the gate.

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.
