Samhyujeong Pavilion

Samhyujeong is a Joseon-period pavilion built by Jeong Ho-sin (1605-1649), pen name Samhyu, so that he could study amid nature with the landscape as his companion. It is said to have been built in 1635, the thirteenth year of King Injo, and has since been relocated to a hillside overlooking its original site because of the construction of Yeongcheon Dam. It was built on the spot where his grandfather, Jeong Se-a, a commander of a righteous army (one of the volunteer militias that resisted foreign invasion), had once lived; gazing at the view there, Jeong Ho-sin composed a poem titled 'Samhyu' ('Three Pleasures'), and from this the pavilion took its name, Samhyudang. It measures four bays across the front and one and a half bays to the side, and is an elaborate hip-and-gable-roofed building whose roofline, seen from the side, forms the shape of the character 八 (eight). The two central bays form a wooden-floored hall, with a single-bay room set on either side.
