Pagyesa Temple Giyeonggak Pavilion

Pagyesa Temple was founded in 804, the fifth year of King Aejang of Unified Silla, and comprises a main worship hall, subsidiary buildings and several hermitages. The Giyeonggak Pavilion is said to have been built together with Seongjeonam Hermitage around 1696, the thirty-fifth year of King Sukjong of Joseon, by the monk Hyeoneung, and it underwent repair work twice, in 1974 and 1983. The building measures three bays across the front and two bays along the side, with a hip-and-gable roof that forms the shape of the character 八 ("eight") when viewed from the side. The gongpo, the decorative bracket sets that support the roof eaves, are built only on top of the columns, in the jusimpo style. The ceiling is finished as a coffered ceiling, concealing the structure above behind a grid pattern shaped like the character 井 ("well"). This is considered a good example of the bracket-set style of the late Joseon period.
