Old Boseong Inn

Old Boseong Inn is a two-story Japanese-style building constructed in 1935, a structure of great preservation value that well retains the characteristics of Japanese wooden architecture. It served as the actual model for 'Namdo Inn,' where rebel suppression commander Im Man-su and his men stay in the epic novel Taebaek Mountains and the film of the same name, and was registered as a Registered Cultural Heritage in 2004. In 2008, the National Trust for Cultural Heritage purchased Boseong Inn and completed restoration work on the damaged building in 2011. In particular, Old Boseong Inn is a rare surviving Japanese-style inn that blends hanok and Japanese elements, holding high value in modern architectural history and daily life history. Additionally, Old Boseong Inn is not just a building but an important base shaping the modern and contemporary historical and cultural environment of Beolgyo-eup, Boseong-gun, possessing significant value. Even during the era that served as the backdrop for the novel Taebaek Mountains, this building was an inn, and its actual name at that time was also Boseong Inn. The two-story building, built in a typical Japanese style with black plank walls and a tin roof, remains in its original form. It was used as an inn and commercial space over time, and in 2004, it was registered as a Registered Cultural Heritage for its high value in modern architectural history and daily life history. Currently, it is open for viewing and also operates a lodging wing where visitors can experience a night in a modern cultural heritage site.
