Ojukcheon in early kingdom of joseon period.Ojukheon is well preserved in its original form and one of the most representativebuildings of the period.The building is an important construction history material that shows the transition from Jusimpo(column brackets) style to iikgong (double wing-bracket) style.

In 1963,Ojukheon was designated as Treasure Number 165. Yulgok Yi Yi was born in Mongnyongsil.

It was here where Sinsaimdang (1504~1551) lived and where his son Yulgok (scholar and politician of the Joseon Period) was born. It was built during the time of the 11th King of Joseon, King Jungjong (1506~1544), and remains one of the oldest wooden residential buildings in Korea.                                                                        Remembering Yulgok.          Current 5,000won bill that includes Yulgok's portrait with Ojukheon's  Mongnyonsil with black bamboos depicted on the bill.                                   An Easy guide map for exploring  Ojukheon                                   A  description about  Ojukheon in a Nutshell Sharing views with High school students paying visit to Ojukheon , very much enthusiastic  in knowing about Yulgok and Ojukheon.          Standing Buddha statue in Gangneung.
