Also, they can appreciate nature and admire Daejeon! Whenever and wherever you observe the surroundings, the mountains of Daejeon nicely approach the horizon.

  • Dongchundang House

    Dongchundang is where the first house built by the ‘Father of Dongchundang’, teacher Jun-gil Song, was moved.

As nation-designated cultural property number 209, Dongchundang has a signboard that Wooam Si-yeol Song wrote. The structure is relatively simple and the size is not excessively large. The four sections on the right make up the main floor and the two sections on the left have an ondolbang (Korean heated floor). In front, it is covered with parquet floor boards, and at the bottom of the ondolbang, there are panelboards applied. For the foundation stone, tall squared cornerstone was used and this is a standard form of separate house architecture from the late Joseon dynasty. Behind Dongchundang, there is the old house of Song jun-gil. It is registered as tangible cultural asset number 3 of Daejeon Metropolitan City.
