Bongsoru Pavilion

Located on the southern slope of Bomunsan Mountain, Bongsoru is a study where Nam Bun-bung (1605–1674), a scholar and educator of the reign of King Injo of Joseon (r. 1623–1649), taught his pupils. It was originally called Bongsojae; 'bongso' means 'a nest of birds', and indeed many centuries-old zelkova trees and the like still stand around Bongsoru today, drawing many birds. Bongsoru served as a place for training the next generation, and records show it was rebuilt in 1714, the fortieth year of King Sukjong, and again in 1758, the thirty-fourth year of King Yeongjo. The main quarters measure three bays across the front and one bay to the side, and the pavilion measures one bay across the front and two bays to the side. The main quarters and the pavilion are joined to form an L-shaped plan, and the roof is a paljak roof, shaped like the Chinese character 八 (eight) when seen from the side. A signboard reading 'Bongsoru' hangs on the front of the pavilion. The building was rebuilt again in the 1970s, but its original form has been preserved.
