Yeonbukjeong Pavilion

This pavilion stands on flat ground by the sea. It was called Ssangbyeokjeong after the Jocheongwan building was newly built in 1590, the twenty-third year of King Seonjo of Joseon, then renamed Yeonbukjeong when the building was repaired in 1599, the thirty-second year of King Seonjo. The name 'Yeonbuk' (longing for the north) embodies the loyal sentiment of those exiled to Jeju Island, who awaited good news from Hanyang while longing for the king who resided to the north. The roof, with three bays across the front and two bays to the side, is a hip-and-gable roof whose gable end forms the shape of the character 八 (eight). It stands on a stone platform built up much higher than a person's height. Judging from the shape and size of the oval-shaped rampart enclosing the north side of the platform, similar to an ongseong (a defensive bastion), it is presumed to have been built to serve as a watchtower for surveillance. The arrangement of the pillars and the method of arranging building materials are both similar to those of houses on Jeju Island.
