Gochang Mujang Government Office

Gochang Mujang Government Office was the main building of the local government office, where administrative affairs were handled and where the magistrate of the time conducted his duties. It was built in 1565, the 20th year of King Myeongjong's reign, and was for a time used as a classroom of Mujang Elementary School, during which it was altered; it was restored to its original form in 1989. It measures six bays across the front and four bays to the side, and its roof is a hipped-and-gabled roof, shaped like the Chinese character for "eight" (八) when viewed from the side, giving the whole building a dignified, solemn quality typical of Joseon-period architecture.
