Seonggeup folk village

The village is an authentic Korean walled town [ko] (읍성; eupseong) that dates to at latest the early Joseon period. It was the county office beginning in 1423, during the reign of Sejong the Great. It was continually used as an administrative center until 1914. It was once much larger than its current form, with reportedly around 1,500 households. It waned in influence by the 1930s.
