Eoeunjeongmitjaesa Temple

This is a pavilion said to have been built in 1570, the third year of King Seonjo of Joseon, by Yi Yong, whose pen name was Eoeun. It originally stood in Dogok-dong, Waryong-myeon, but was relocated to its present site in 1974 when Andong Dam was built. Eoeunjeong Pavilion, a jaesa — a house used by descendants for lodging and holding rites when tending family graves — and an auxiliary building are enclosed within an earthen wall. Eoeunjeong is a pavilion three kan (a kan being a bay between structural columns) wide and two kan deep, with an ornate hip-and-gable roof whose gable end forms the shape of the character 八 (eight). The jaesa is a square, ㅁ-shaped building five kan wide and six kan deep: the main room, the wooden-floored hall and the side room are arranged in a straight line, while the opposite lower wing contains rooms, a wooden floor, a hall, a cattle shed, a gate, a book storehouse, a kitchen and a shed. The auxiliary building is four kan wide and one kan deep, with a simple gable roof whose end takes the shape of the character 人 (person). It is relatively well preserved, but having been moved from its original site, it no longer harmonises with its surrounding landscape.
