The Head House was located in the southwest of Takcheongjeong, and has 22 rooms shaped like Chinese letter ‘只’.
The house is rebuilt after fire in the late Joseon Dynasty (period unknown).
The pavilion was constructed by Kim Yu(pen name Takcheong, 1491~1552), the 21st grandson of the head of the Gwangsan Kim Clan and the second son of Kim Hyoro(1455~1534), the progenitor of the Head House of the Yean Branch, Ocheon, in the 36th year of King Jungjong of the Joseon Dynasty (1541).

Due to the construction of Andong Dam in the early 1970s, the pavilion was moved to its current location, two kilometers away from the original site. Hence, it has been preserved since then.
