Mujinjeong Pavilion

This pavilion was built in 1751, the 27th year of King Yeongjo of Joseon, by Mujin, the tenth-generation ancestor of Yun Gu-seop of the Jukgok branch of the Namwon Yun clan; the site is also where the Namwon Yun clan's ancestral burial ground is located. It is said that Mujin used his own wealth to build Mujinjeong Pavilion at this spot, on the clan's ancestral burial ground, so that travellers crossing the Seomjingang River and passing north and south could rest here. The building has three bays across the front and two bays on the side, with a hip-and-gable roof and single eaves, and nine inscribed wooden boards hang inside. Round pillars are used around the building's perimeter, while square pillars are set up on the inside, adding variety. The floor plan also sets the rear section of the floor slightly higher, dividing the space into front and back sections. Despite these carefully considered variations in detail, the pavilion's overall appearance is neat and composed. Even today, during the outing season many passers-by stop here to rest.
