This is the house where Gosan Yun Seondo lived, built in the mid-15th century by Hyojeong (1476~1543), Yun Seondo's great-great-grandfather, who settled in Yeondong. Behind the house is Deogeumsan Mountain, and in front are Byeorubong and Pilbong on its right, located in a geomantically auspicious site. The 14th-generation descendant of Yun Seondo currently resides here. Centered on the Nokudang old house are the Gosan Shrine, Eocheoeun Shrine, and Eocheoeun Cemetery, showcasing the appearance of a mid-Joseon Dynasty noble’s upper-class residence. Upon entering the gate is the main yard (Saranggma-dang), with a Sarangchae residence at the front and a small pond called Baekryeonji at the southwest corner of the wall. The Sarangchae was relocated here in 1668 (the 9th year of King Hyeonjong) from a house in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, given to Yun Seondo by King Hyojong. Behind the Sarangchae, entering the east gate is the main residence (Anchae), shaped like the letter [ㄷ]. One shrine is inside the fence behind the Anchae on the east side, with Gosan Shrine and Eocheoeun Shrine outside the fence. This site also hosts a museum preserving many cultural heritage artifacts, including the national treasure self-portrait of Yun Du-seo, the treasure Sanzungsingokja, works like Eobusasisahaji, and over 3,000 relics.

This is the historic site of Gosan Yun Seondo (1587-1671), a Joseon Dynasty civil minister and considered a pioneer of Korean literature. The site includes the sarangchae (men's quarter) called Nokudang. Nokudang, a head family house of the Haenam Yun clan Eochoueunpa with a 600-year tradition, is located with Deogeumsan mountain at the back and is known as one of Korea's most outstanding auspicious sites. Currently, the Gosan Historic Site has a ginkgo tree and nutmeg-yew forest with long history, Nokudang sarangchae, anchae (women's quarters), haengnangchae (servant quarters), barn, ansadang (ancestral shrine), Gosan Shrine, Eochoueun Shrine, Chuwondang, and Gosan Relics Exhibition Hall, making it well known as a family that preserves the largest collection of Joseon Dynasty relics (about 5,000 items).
