Located in Ocheon-ri, Waryong-myeon, Ocheon Gunja Village—also known as Wenae—was relocated 2 km from its original site after being submerged due to the construction of the Andong Dam. The village was established 500 to 600 years ago by Kim Hyoro (pen name: Nongsu) of the Gwangsan Kim clan. Its name, meaning “Village of Noblemen,” was inspired by scholar Jeong Gu (pen name: Hangang), who praised the community by saying, “There is no one in Ocheon who is not a gentleman.” Since the early Joseon Dynasty, the village has produced many scholars and maintains a refined, tranquil atmosphere. Notable preserved sites include Hujodang, the clan’s head house; the home of Kim Yu, author of Suun Japbang; and Takcheongjeong Pavilion—part of over 20 traditional houses. Perched on a mountain slope, the village overlooks a scenic valley-turned-lake, offering beautiful natural views.
