Chehwajeong Pavilion, Andong

Chehwajeong Pavilion's historical value is evident from the many poem boards (sipan) put up by the numerous poets and literati who visited it, and its layout with an ondol (underfloor-heated room) in the centre is a regional feature. The window-and-door front of the ondol room spans four kan: the two central kan share a single door frame (muneolgul), with a nunkkopjigi-chang — a small window that can itself be opened within the window — set in the middle, while the doors on either side open outward to left and right and can be folded back over the central two-kan bunhap (folding door), which is fitted with a deulgeolgae, a hook device allowing the door to be lifted and hung up. Fitting a nunkkopjigi-chang in a pavilion is itself rare, but the type of bunhap door in which leaves opened from both sides overlap in the middle and are operated by a deulgeolgae hook is an extremely rare type.
