Gaeksa were official residences in each "village" and were maintained and used during the Goryeo and Joseon Dynasties. They were a combination of government office and "guest-house" in which government officials and envoys (from & to, foreign powers) stayed.[1]

The building typically includes a main hall, with left and right wings, a middle gate and an outer gate on the front, and the rooms on the left and right had ondol.[1] Gaeksa also housed wooden tablets symbolizing the king and ceremonies were performed on the first and first full moons of the month.[1][2]

Existing guesthouse buildings from the Joseon period include Gangneung Imyeonggwan Sammun (national treasure, designated in 1962),[2] Jeonju Pungpaejigwan (treasure, designated in 1975),[3] Anbyeon Guesthouse's Gahakru (駕鶴樓, 1493), and Goryeong Guesthouse's Gayagwan.

The gaeksas in Seongcheon, Tongyeong, and Yeosu, show the wooden architectural style of the Joseon period.[1]
