This is a traditional Korean-style wooden house surrounded by high rectangular stone stylobates.
- This was built as a ritual house for Kim Byeong-ju (pen-name: Changnyeongwi) who was the son-in-law of Sunjo, the 23rd king of the Joseon Dynasty.
This house has historical meaning in that Kim Seok-jin, who is a grandson of Kim Byeong-ju, killed himself here for his country, having rejected the offer of baronage from Japan after the Korea-Japan Annexation.
Currently, the Changnyeongwigung Ritual House is located inside the 「Dream Forest」, and serves as an attraction for many visitors to the forest.
