Cheongwollu Pavilion, Andong

Cheongwollu Pavilion has historical and academic value simply as a building that clearly reveals the architectural characteristics of the seventeenth-century jaeji sajok, the local scholar-gentry class rooted in the countryside. Moreover, its overall design — from which decoration is almost entirely excluded, including the railings and the meoreum (low sill panels beneath the windows) — clearly expresses the upright character of a Confucian scholar, making it a case that shows how a humanistic quality can be expressed through architectural form. The appearance dating from its seventeenth-century rebuilding is relatively well preserved, and the overall composition of the building carries through in the same spirit, giving it a high degree of integrity.
