Hambyeongnu Pavilion, Hapcheon

Hambyeongnu Pavilion was first built in 1321, during the reign of King Chungsuk of Goryeo, by Kim Yeong-don (1285–1348), then magistrate (jiju-sa) of Hapju; an account of its founding was recorded by An Jin (?–1360). The pavilion has since been rebuilt several times and survives to the present day. Built on the slope of Daeyaseong Fortress with a view over Jeongyangho, a pool on the Hwanggang River, it has long been a place where poets and literati gathered to enjoy refined pursuits. Writings by some of the foremost scholars of the Joseon period, including Yi Hwang, Jo Sik and Song Si-yeol, hang as inscribed boards inside the pavilion, and on the rock face behind it is an inscription reading "Hambyeongnu," written by Song Si-yeol. The pavilion is a two-story wooden building with a tiled roof, three bays across the front and three bays to the side, built with a five-purlin (oryang) roof frame; it is especially noted for being positioned so that water from its eaves drips directly into the Hwanggang River.
