Changyeongnu Pavilion, Cheongsong

Changyeongnu Pavilion is distinctively sited on natural bedrock, which was neither cut, dressed nor avoided but built directly upon. The presence of an ondol (underfloor-heated room) inside a pavilion is a rare feature not seen elsewhere, and its timber frame — in which interior columns carry a main beam (daeryang) and an eave beam (toeryang) hung at the same height, forming a five-purlin (five-ryangga) structure — is likewise a rare case unmatched in other buildings. Given the rich records of its original construction and later rebuilding, a floor plan that matches and clearly expresses its function and identity as a government-run pavilion, and a timber-frame style that well embodies the architecture of the late Joseon period, Changyeongnu Pavilion has outstanding historical, artistic and academic value.
