This old and characteristic house had been built and used by Koreans living in the cold areas. The roof is made of rice straws, and rooms for people and cowhouse are together inside the walls. The owner wanted to protect his family and livestock from the sharp coldness of winter. A big door to cowhouse is seen on the left.
There are two holes in the middle of the roof, which were designed for good ventilation. People call this magpie house because the holes just look like magpie's nests.
