Destination briefing
Why travelers stop here
Located in Bukchon Gahoe-dong, Baek In-je House is a representative hanok from the Japanese colonial period that preserves the style of modern hanok. On a site of 2,460㎡ overlooking Bukchon, it features a stately sarangchae (men's quarters) at the center, a spacious anchae (women's quarters), and a large garden, with a modest byeoldangchae (detached pavilion) at the highest point. Baek In-je House maintains the beauty of traditional hanok while embracing modern changes, and in terms of architectural scale and historical value, it is introduced alongside Yun Bo-seon House as a representative building of Bukchon. Built using black pine (Heuksong) from the Amnok River, first introduced to Seoul during the 1907 Gyeongseong Exposition, Baek In-je House has several features that distinguish it from typical upper-class houses of the same period. Unlike other traditional hanok that separate the sarangchae and anchae into separate buildings, these two spaces are connected by a corridor, allowing free movement without going outside. Additionally, the inclusion of Japanese-style corridors and tatami rooms, as well as the extensive use of red bricks and glass windows, reflects the historical context of the time of construction. Also, part of the sarangchae is built as a two-story structure, a unique feature of Baek In-je House not found in traditional Joseon-era hanok. Baek In-je House, where you can admire the stately sarangchae from the garden, the spacious anchae from the courtyard, and the modest byeoldangchae from the rear garden, is a precious cultural heritage that gathers the diverse beauty of Korean hanok in one place.
