Daeyajeong Pavilion

This building is a pavilion built by Yu Geon-hyu (pen name Daeya, 1768–1834), a scholar of the late Joseon period, in 1770, the forty-sixth year of King Yeongjo. It originally stood in Sugok-dong, Imdong-myeon, Andong-gun, but was relocated to its present site in 1987 owing to the construction of the Imha Dam. Yu Geon-hyu passed the state examination but did not take up office, choosing instead to build this pavilion and devote himself entirely to scholarship. He left behind many writings, including Ihakjiphae, Saseojippyeong, Guksagosa and Daeyajip, which have been preserved at Daeyajeong Pavilion to this day. The pavilion measures three bays across the front and two bays along the side. Narrow ondol (heated-floor) rooms flank either side of a central wooden-floored hall. The central bay of each ondol room is linked, with the right-hand room set back by half a bay, to a narrow veranda at the front, uniting the two rooms into a single space. Notably, sliding partition doors are fitted between the left ondol room and the hall, allowing the spaces to be combined into one whenever needed.
