Pungduck Old House is located in Oeam Folk Village. The name “Pungduck (or Pungdeok)” comes from the penname of Lee Taekju, the seventh-generation descendant of historical figure Lee Sajong who earned the penname “Pungdeok” while serving as the Governor of Pungdeok-gun, Gwanghae-do. The old house is “ㅁ”-shaped, with “ㄴ”-shaped building and “ㄱ”-shaped building right over it. Behind the main building is a knoll that serves as a wall of the house. Detached buildings called “sarangchae” and “byeolchae” are used as a guesthouse where guests can experience an old traditional Korean house. The "sarangchae" with area of 40㎡ has two rooms, one living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. There is a toenmaru (narrow wooden porch running along the outside of a room). The “byeolchae” has a large spacious room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. There is a low wooden bench called “pyeongsang” in front of the “sarangchae” and “byeolchae.” Pungduck Old House is also well-known for its traditional red chili paste, so it offers a Traditional Red Chili Paste Class where participants can buy or make their own red chili paste, soybean paste, and grain syrup using traditional recipes. There is a fee for participating in the class, so make a reservation when booking.

Maeng Sa-seong is a major figure in Cheonbaek-ri and was a prime minister during the early years of the Joseon dynasty. His house is the oldest private residence in Korea, and was originally General Choi Yeong’s home, before he turned it over to his grand son-in-law, Maeng Sa-seong. The simple residence houses two 600-year-old gingko trees in the yard. Therefore it has been named ‘Haengdan’, meaning that Confucius taught on top of the gingko tree symbolizing a place of learning. For that reason it is inferred that Maeng Sa-seong intentionally planted gingko trees in the yard and taught junior scholars. The two gingko trees provide a cool shade and give out five sacks of gingko nuts each year.
