Chilseongnumichyugyejaesa Temple

Chilseongnu was built to commemorate Jeon Hui-cheol (pen name Hyugyegong), a civil official of the Joseon dynasty; it is said to have been erected in 1631, the ninth year of King Injo, while Hyugyejaesa is said to have been built in 1576, the ninth year of King Seonjo. However, in the case of the jaesa (ancestral memorial hall), records discovered inside the building suggest that it was actually built between 1696 and 1697, the twenty-second and twenty-third years of King Sukjong. Chilseongnu is built in the form of a pavilion, with a wooden veranda and a railing at the front. Viewed from the side, its roofline takes the shape of the Chinese character for "eight", a paljak (hipped-and-gabled) roof; of the four front bays, the middle two form a wooden-floored hall (daecheong). Each end bay has a one-bay wooden floor connected to the daecheong and a half-bay ondol (heated) room. Hyugyejaesa measures five bays across the front and five bays to the side, with a floor plan in the shape of the character ㅁ (a closed square). Viewed from the side, its roofline resembles the character for "person", a matbae (gable) roof, and the height of the roof has been matched to suit the way the building's sections join together. To either side of the central axis linking the front central door to the daecheong at the north, two rooms, two kitchens, and one storeroom are arranged symmetrically. Such a symmetrical layout is considered a rare example.
