Island Heritage🏡

#hellohalloween

Beyond its rich culinary heritage, a visit to Seongeup folk village is incomplete without admiring its traditional housing architecture. The village is dotted with charming thatched-roof homes, built using basalt stones and natural materials that reflect Jeju's unique environment. These structures, with their low, sturdy walls designed to withstand strong island winds, offer a glimpse into the practical and aesthetic sensibilities of the past. The neatly arranged stone fences, earthen walls, and simple yet functional layouts showcase the ingenuity of traditional Jeju construction. Walking through Seongeup, you'll encounter these historical homes nestled among local residences, providing an authentic window into the island’s architectural heritage and the enduring spirit of its community.
