Myeongokdae Pavilion

This pavilion was built in 1665, the sixth year of King Hyeonjong of Joseon, to commemorate the spot where Yi Hwang (pen name Toegye, 1501–1570) lectured on the Confucian Way to younger scholars. It was originally called Naksudae, but is said to have been renamed Myeongokdae after a poem by Yuk Sa-hyeong. The building is two kan wide across the front and two kan deep, with all four sides left open. The rear two kan were originally enclosed as a room, but appear to have been altered to their present open form at a later date. Balustrades have been fitted on all four sides, and a rock inscribed with the characters for "Myeongokdae" still stands opposite the pavilion.
