Pyeongeun-ri Yangjiam Hermitage, Yeongju

This jaesa was built in 1546, the first year of King Myeongjong, by Kim Eon-gwang, known by the title Bujanggong, as a hall for tending the tomb and performing ancestral rites; it was rebuilt in 1687, the thirteenth year of King Sukjong, and remains in that form today. The hall's layout is square overall, departing from typical jaesa architecture to resemble the composition of a Buddhist hermitage. Centred on Yangjiam Hermitage itself, the building to its right served as space for those attending the rites, while the building to its left adjoins the main gate. Built throughout with materials resembling those used in temple construction, this hermitage-style jaesil preserves its old building techniques well.
