Hanbyeongnu Pavilion in Cheongpung, Jecheon

This building was erected in 1317, the fourth year of King Chungsuk of Goryeo, to the east of the guest house, to commemorate the monk Cheonggong—a native of Cheongpung-hyeon—being appointed royal preceptor (wangsa), on which occasion Cheongpung-hyeon was elevated to the status of a county (gun). Structurally, it consists of a two-storey pavilion of four bays across the front and three bays deep, joined to a stepped wing building of three bays across the front and one bay deep. The spaces between the pillars are all left open, and a balustrade runs around all four sides. Inside the building hang framed inscriptions by Song Si-yeol and Kim Su-jeung, and a plaque reading 'Cheongpung Hanbyeongnu' written by Kim Jeong-hui. Together with Yeongnamnu Pavilion in Miryang and Gwanghallu Pavilion in Namwon, it is a representative example of a Joseon-period pavilion with a small annexe attached beside the main hall, and of the three it has the simplest and most refined exterior. It originally stood in Eup-ri, Cheongpung-myeon, but was relocated to its present site in 1983 after the town was submerged by the construction of Chungju Dam.
