When the area around here was flooded to create the Chungju dam and lake, a number of villages were submerged (the residents were resettled, of course).
In order to preserve some of the rich heritage, 43 cultural properties, several private residences and more than a thousand artefacts were relocated here from Cheongpung, a historic port during the Joseon dynasty. You can take the ferry to Cheongpung, get off and walk up the hill to the complex.
