Ogyeonjeongsa House was not originally a living quarters. However, Ryu Seong-ryong used this house as a place to pursue studies and mentor his students. It was also where he composed the famous Jingbirok, a memoir recounting the Japanese invasion to Joseon, following his retirement. Jingbirok attained the status of a Korean National Treasure due to its historical significance and is currently displayed in Yeongmogak Pavilion.
The house stands as a testament to its master’s hardships, being one of the most influential officials during challenging times in the nation’s history. The first chapter of the Jingbirok is title ‘Records of War Written in Tears and Regret.’ During the war, Ryu Seong-ryong had escorted the king during evacuation, feeling guilt-ridden for leaving behind the people. Upon the war's conclusion, he returned home and documented everything to remember the past and alleviate its torment.
Observe the narrow passage leading toward the cliff, known as ‘Rabbit Road.’ The path is so narrow that only a rabbit could pass through it. Ryu Seong-ryong used this route to visit his elder brother, Ryu Un-ryong, residing in Gyeomamjeongsa House, located across from the village, and it is believed that they frequently visited each other.
A short hike up from Ogyeonjeongsa House leads to Buyongdae Cliff. Visitors can enjoy a stunning view of the peaceful village from there.
