Welcome to one of the biggest noble man’s house of Joseon Dynasty, the mansion with 99 spaces. This mansion was moved from Namchang-dong of Suwon city in 1867.
During the Korean War, it was used as Suwon District Court.
The house is very meaningful. During Joseon Dynasty, rich people, no matter how rich they are, could not purchase the mansion with more than 99.
This is because only the King was able to build a house with more than 100 spaces. So, the 99 spaces was the biggest house that nobleman could build.
The 99 spaces do not refer to rooms but the spaces between pillars. Do not get mixed up!
