The Chuiyuan-dang (Hall of Honoring Ancestry) at Haenam Yun clan's Gangjin Estate was originally established around 1649 under the direction of Yun Seon-do as a memorial and study hall honoring Haenam Yun clan ancestor Yun Sa-bo (10th generation) and his son Yun Gyeong (11th generation), founders of the Deokjing-dong lineage. The structure underwent multiple repairs and restorations to reach its present form. The Chuiyuan-dang features an exceptionally spacious interior platform dedicated to conducting sacrificial ceremonies. The construction techniques employed in the structural framework showcase both grandeur and simplicity with natural aesthetic qualities, demonstrating the skilled craftsmanship and innovative architectural techniques of highly trained carpenters. Additionally, the hall preserves the 1702-edition genealogical wood-blocks of the Haenam Yun clan and records of the Bomok Clan Fraternity, documents of related kinship networks, functioning as an important site for examining the history of rural villages and clan developments in the Gangjin region following the mid-Joseon period. Considering such architectural and historical value, this structure demonstrates sufficient merit for designation as national-level heritage.
