Bongcheondae Pavilion, Ganghwa

Built on the summit of Bongcheonsan Mountain, this was a place where prayers were offered to heaven for the peace of the nation and the wellbeing of its people. It is built of brick in a trapezoidal form that narrows toward the top. According to the Gangdoji (a local gazetteer), in the Goryeo period it was the site of rituals in which the state offered sacrifices to heaven, but by the mid-Joseon period it had come to be used as a beacon station where signal fires were lit.
