Hacheonjae<bu Stele Pavilion >

This is a house and stele pavilion built to protect a stele erected beside the grave of Jeong Se-a, known by his posthumous title Gangui-gong, and to serve the tombs of the Ocheon Jeong clan. It is said to have first been built in 1637, the fifteenth year of King Injo of Joseon, by Jeong Ho-in, the magistrate of Jinju. The present buildings appear to be a later reconstruction, and they were moved to their current location in 1976 because of the construction of the Yeongcheon Dam. Jeong Se-a was recommended as commander of a righteous army during the Japanese invasions of 1592 and achieved great merit, yet he sought no reward for his service. He left official life and retired to the countryside, where he raised disciples and cultivated his scholarship, earning a reputation as a virtuous and highly respected scholar. The grounds contain Hacheonjae and a sindobigak, a stele pavilion housing a spirit-path stele, among other buildings, all built in a simple, unadorned style.
