Located in the heart of Daejeon, Uam Historic Park is a historical park created to honor the scholarship and virtues of Uam Song Siyeol, a great Confucian scholar of the late Joseon Dynasty. Centered around Namganjeongsa House, where he taught his disciples and devoted himself to his studies in his later years, it newly opened after seven years of restoration work starting in 1991. Here, 16 buildings including Namganjeongsa House, renowned for its architectural beauty, Gigukjeong Pavilion, Jangpangak Archive, and an exhibition hall have been restored, and historically important cultural properties such as the Songjadaejeonpan (woodblocks of Song Siyeol's literary works) are preserved.
In particular, Namganjeongsa House, designed so that valley water flows under the wooden floor into a pond, is considered an important building in the history of Korean landscaping. It is loved as a resting place for citizens and a space to learn history in the city center, and in spring, when magnolia and other flowers bloom in harmony, it becomes a famous spot that attracts many photographers.
