Namsa Yedamchon, along with Hahoe Village in Andong, is the representative ancient Hanok (Korean traditional house) village in Korea. Located at the foothills of Nigusan Mountain, tucked into a bend of the crystal clear Sasucheon Stream, the village looks like it came right out of a dream. Although no one knows the exact date the town was first founded, it is assumed that the town was created before the Goryeo Dynasty since one of the queens of the Goryeo Era was believed to have been born here.
Namsa Yedamchon in Korean means 'lovely walls village' in Korean and is exactly the right name for this beautiful town. Stone walls measuring 5.7km long line the road from the village's entrance and the 3.2km-long traditional stone wall in another part of town was even designated a Cultural Heritage in 2006.
