Gwansujeong Pavilion

Gwansujeong Pavilion was built in 1624 by Kim Dae-jin, sobriquet Sauudang, a righteous-army leader during the Japanese invasions, with the cooperation of Gyeongsang Governor Yi Min-gu and local Confucian scholars; it burned down in 1721 and was rebuilt in 1866 by his descendant Kim Gyu-han. The building has a straight, single-row plan, five kan across the front and one kan in depth, with a hipped-and-gabled paljak roof. Centred on a wooden-floored hall, it has a one-kan heated room (ondol) to the right and a two-kan heated room to the left. Gwansujeong Pavilion is well harmonised with its natural surroundings, its proportions are neat and give a sense of stability, and its woodworking and joinery are meticulous; having preserved its original form well, it is valued as an important building that well expresses the trends of late Joseon pavilion architecture.
