01 · HISTORY

How this neighborhood remembers change

1519 onward

A riverside clan house grows over generations

Imcheonggak became a substantial family residence whose layout reflected lineage, learning, and life beside the Nakdong River.

1910s–1945

The house becomes an independence-movement base

Members of the family, including Lee Sang-ryong, left privilege behind to support independence work, while colonial infrastructure damaged the estate.

Today

Rail relocation and restoration allow the house's wider landscape and its national-history significance to be read again.
