Eosahongwonmoyeongsebulmang Stele

This is a stele honouring the achievements of the secret royal inspector Hong Won-mo, together with the pavilion that protects it. Hong Won-mo (1784–1835) was a civil official of the Joseon dynasty who, in 1829 (the 29th year of King Sunjo), became a secret royal inspector while holding the post of royal secretary with the senior official rank of tongjeongdaebu. That October, he relieved the common people of the Hoedeok region, who were suffering from poverty and illness, and inspected local conditions of governance; unable to forget his benevolent rule, the people of the area erected this stele and pavilion. The pavilion is crowned with a grand roof set on four pillars. The pillars stand on thick, octagonal-shaped plinths, above which bracket sets (gongpo) are fitted to bear the weight of the eaves. The bracket sets joined at the pillar heads are lavishly decorated with lotus flowers and lotus buds. The stele was erected in 1831 (the 31st year of King Sunjo) by Kang Seok-hwan, and in 1907 (the first year of the Yunghui era) Yeon Jae-ho built the pavilion to protect it.
