Formed by two families, Son of Wolseong and Lee of Yeogang, Yangdong Village is made of about 150 traditional houses with tile roofs and thatched roofs, preserving the Joseon Dynasty architecture and folk materials. The entire village is designated as cultural property. It is Korea’s representative village of clans and aristocrats from the 14~15th centuries. For generations, the village has properly transmitted traditional Korean architecture, composition of houses, and ways of living based on climate, geographical position with its back to the mountain and facing the water, and Confucian manners of the Joseon Dynasty. With its value recognized by UNESCO, it was designated as World Cultural Heritage in August 2010 together with Hahoe Traditional Village in Andong.
