The Otgol Village is about fifteen minutes from the center of Dongdaegu(East Daegu) city by bus. It became an accumulated area of the Gyeongju Choi clan since Dong-jip Choi, a scholar of Joseon Dynasty, arrived here and built his house in 1616.
Otgol Village is called as Otgol (chil-gye) because there are lots of lacquer trees in it which are ‘Otnamu’ in the forest and valleys of Korea.
Moreover, because of the oldest Korean traditional houses in Daegu, it is considered as a very precious resource for the study of life during the Joseon Dynasty.
