Yeongam Samchunggak Pavilion

This stele and the pavilion protecting it were erected to honour the loyalty of Park Hyeong-jun (1548–1592), who died for his country during the Japanese invasions of Korea, and his sons Park Hyo-nam (1568–1592) and Park Ho-nam (?–1592). In 1846, the 12th year of King Heonjong of Joseon, local Confucian scholars of the region submitted a petition, and the pavilion was built in 1860, the 11th year of King Cheoljong. It was repaired twice more, in 1901 (the 38th year of Emperor Gojong) and in 1932, rebuilt in 1946, and restored to its present form in 1982. The building measures three kan across the front, and its roof is a simple gabled roof shaped like the character 人 (person) when viewed from the side. A plaque bestowed by the state in recognition of their loyalty, along with three stelae, stands here.
