Anui Gwangpungnu Pavilion, Hamyang

This two-storey pavilion stands imposingly beside the Geumhogang River, at the entrance to Anui-myeon. It was first built in 1412, the twelfth year of King Taejong of Joseon, and named Seonhwaru, then moved to its present site in 1425, the seventh year of King Sejong. In 1494, the twenty-fifth year of King Seongjong, Jeong Yeo-chang rebuilt it and renamed it Gwangpungnu. Burned down in the Jeongyu War (1597), it was restored in 1601, the thirty-fourth year of King Seonjo, and rebuilt again in 1683, the ninth year of King Sukjong. Having fallen into considerable disrepair over the years, it was renovated in 1980. It measures five bays across the front and two bays along the side, with a hip-and-gable roof whose sides form the shape of the character 八 ("eight"). Gwangpungnu preserves a representative style of Joseon-period architecture and is an imposing building.
