Pohang Deokdong Culture Village is a picturesque traditional village, renowned for its stunning natural beauty and impeccably preserved old houses. This village has its roots in the Imjin War era, when Jeong Munbu, a civil official of the Joseon dynasty, bestowed his wealth upon his grandson-in-law after returning to Jeonju at the war's conclusion. The village is home to significant cultural properties, including Aeeundang Old House and Saujeong Old House, Yonggyejeong Pavilion, and the Deokgyeseodang Village School. It also houses a Folk Museum, a repository of historical artifacts handed down through generations. The museum's collection includes items such as traditional banknotes, slave ownership papers, and gat (Korean traditional hats), offering a window into the rich cultural heritage and history of the village and its families.
