Agyangnu Pavilion, Haman

This pavilion stands on a cliff north of Agyang village and is said to have been built in 1857, the eighth year of King Cheoljong of Joseon. Agyangnu Pavilion occupies a spot with an excellent view: the Namgang River flows below it, and broad fields and the embankment of Beopsu-myeon come into full view in front. It was restored after the Korean War and rebuilt in 1963, in the form it retains today. The building has three bays across the front and two bays to the side, with a hip-and-gable roof that forms a figure resembling the Chinese character for "eight" (八) when viewed from the side. The pavilion is said to have been named after Yueyang, a scenic site in China. In the past it reportedly bore a plaque reading "Gidu-heon", but today only a plaque reading "Agyangnu", written by Oh Jae-bong (pen name Cheongnam), remains.
