Sujeongjae Hall

Sujeongjae is the jaesil, a building erected near a grave for preparing food for ancestral rites and for the lodging of the officiants, and also used as a place of learning for younger generations, of the Yeokseunggong branch of the Miryang Son clan. The exact date of its first construction is unknown, and the name is said to derive from Sujeongam, the name once given to the hill behind the hall. The earlier building burned down in a bombing in 1945; following a resolution of the clan in 1966, the present building was erected the following year, 1967, on the same site. It measures five bays across the front and two bays to the side, with a hip-and-gable roof that forms the shape of the character 八 (meaning "eight") when viewed from the side. The central three bays form an open wooden-floored hall, with one ondol-heated room at each end. On the hill behind Sujeongjae stands the grave of Son Seok, known by his posthumous title Yeokseunggong, below which lie the graves of other members of the Miryang Son clan.
