Soyangjeong Pavilion

Soyangjeong Pavilion stands at the foot of Bonguisan Mountain and was first built during the Three Kingdoms period. It was originally called Iyoru, but during the reign of Emperor Sunjong of Joseon the magistrate Yun Wang-guk renamed it Soyangjeong. It originally stood further downstream, on the southern bank of the Soyanggang River. After being destroyed by flooding in 1605, the thirty-eighth year of King Seonjo, it was rebuilt in 1610, the second year of King Gwanghaegun, by the magistrate Yun Hui-dang, and rebuilt again in 1647, the twenty-fifth year of King Injo, by the magistrate Eom Hwang, undergoing repairs on several occasions. The present building was constructed in 1966, after the original was destroyed during the Korean War. It measures 4 kan (a kan being the standard bay-width unit of traditional Korean architecture) across the front and 2 kan at the side, and is crowned with a hip-and-gable roof, shaped like the figure eight (八) when seen from the side.
