Gosanjeong Pavilion, Jinju

This is where Jeong Hwon spent his later years in seclusion. Unwilling to be drawn into the tyrannical rule of King Gwanghaegun, Jeong Hwon withdrew to this place, built a pavilion, and named it Gosanjeong. The building is four bays across the front and two bays deep, with a paljak roof, a hipped-and-gabled roof shaped like the character 八 (eight) when viewed from the side. It has toikan, narrow additional bays, at the front and rear, and a daecheong, an open timber-floored hall, on both the left and right. Railings surround three sides, all but the rear. The pavilion and the shrine behind it are arranged in a line running north to south, in the shape of the character 二 (two). The shrine is three bays across the front and one bay deep, and its roof is likewise of the paljak type.
