Yecheon Geumdangsil Village

예천 금당실마을 · Gyeongbuk · Hanok & folk villages

Yecheon Geumdangsil Village is celebrated for its cultural relics and traditional houses, earning its name for resembling a lotus flower afloat on water. Visitors can explore the remnants of Yi Yuin's expansive 99-room house, dating back to the late Joseon era. The village is also home to significant cultural landmarks such as Choganjeong Pavilion, Yongmunsa Temple, Geumgokseowon Confucian Academy, and Bansongjae Gotaek (Kim Bin's Old House). A standout feature of the village is the Geumdangsil Pine Forest, recognized as a natural monument. This impressive pine grove, comprising over 900 trees, spans 800 meters, stretching from the base of Omibong Peak in Geumdangsil to the vicinity of Yongmun Elementary School.
