Hyojeongjae Hall, Gangjin

Hyojeongjae Hall in Gangjin is a building in the shape of the letter 'ㄷ' (a U-shape). Its plan makes the most of the different character of front and rear: the front wing holds an ondol-heated room (jae), while the rear has a raised wooden floor (nu-maru) and a daecheong (open wooden-floored hall, three bays at the centre) — a duality clearly expressed in the building's layout. Built in the late Joseon period, it has been used as the lecture hall of a sau (Confucian shrine) and as the study hall of the village seodang (local school).
