Mannamjae Hall

This building was erected in 1670, the eleventh year of King Hyeonjong of Joseon, to guard the grave of Cheonghagong, the founding ancestor of this line of the Goryeong Park clan, and to serve as a venue for clan meetings. Within a square-walled compound in the Saemisil hamlet of Pyeongji-ri, below Mandaesan Mountain, the gate quarters and the lecture hall face south-east. Mannamjae Hall stands on a low foundation of rough fieldstones and has a hip-and-gable roof with single eaves, four bays across the front and two bays deep. In plan it has a wooden-floored central hall (daecheong) of two bays flanked by ondol-heated rooms on either side, with a narrow board-floored veranda (toenmaru) in front of the ondol rooms, and further narrow board floors attached along both sides of the building. The floor of the central hall is laid in a "well" pattern (umulmaru), and the ceiling above is left open to show the rafters (yeondeung ceiling). Structurally it is a five-purlin building with plain, unadorned bracket blocks (soro sujang); round columns are used only along the front, and square columns everywhere else. In the upper timberwork, a single solid tie beam spans only the columns at the centre, while the eave beams are joined at the tops of the columns. Above the tie beam a king-post supports the ridge beam, and above that a round board support carries the ridge purlin. The front of the central hall is left open, and its openings consist of a pair of swing panel doors at the rear of the hall and a single swing lattice door between the hall and the ondol rooms. The gate quarters, three bays across the front and one bay deep, form a raised three-gate structure and were newly built in 1974.
