Old House of Chang Ucchin

장욱진고택 · Gyeonggi · Neighbourhoods & streets

The Old House of Chang Ucchin was the home of the famous Korean artist, one of the first to paint in the Western style in Korea. Chang created many works of art while living here from 1986 until his death. The house was registered as a National Cultural Heritage in 2008, and features a traditional house built over 120 years ago, as well as a Western-style building added on later, based on his 1953 painting "Scene with a Car." Visitors can see the red brick walls, black roof, and main entrance flanked by windows just like in the painting. The small hanok building is built in a square shape, with an anchae (inner room) and sarangchang (guestroom/study). The annex building is now used as a traditional tea house and gift shop.
