Namsangol Hanok Village

This guide to Namsangol Hanok Village opens with a bronze time capsule buried in 1994, fifteen meters beneath the plaza, sealed with 600 objects until the year 2394. It traces the five hanok houses rescued from demolition across Seoul in the 1990s and rebuilt here by 1998, including the home of Lee Seungeop, the master carpenter who oversaw the reconstruction of Gyeongbokgung Palace. Listen for the stream running past the house nearest the water.
