Wolsanjae Hall

Wolsanjae Hall was built in 1824, the fourth year of King Sunjo of Joseon, led by the Kim clan of Yeonggwang, for the education of their descendants and the cultivation of talented individuals. The complex consists of Yonggangsa Shrine, Wolsanjae Hall, which serves as the lecture hall, an inner three-bay gate, an outer three-bay gate, a caretaker's house and a storehouse. In overall layout, Yonggangsa Shrine stands at the highest point, with Wolsanjae Hall below it, and the caretaker's house and storehouse arranged symmetrically in front of Wolsanjae Hall. Yonggangsa Shrine, built in 1882, the nineteenth year of King Gojong, by local Confucian scholars, enshrines the spirit tablets of Na-ong Kim Gwang-beom, Usudang Kim Seong-beom, Jugong Kim Jeong-seo, Usu Kim Sang-beom and Hangnam Kim Jeong-ui. It measures three kan across the front and one kan to the side, with a gable roof shaped like the character 人 (person) when viewed from the side. The larger Wolsanjae Hall measures six kan across the front and three kan to the side, with a hip-and-gable roof shaped like the character 八 (eight) when viewed from the side; it is currently used as a lecture hall.
