Gwangsimjeong Pavilion, Haman

Gwangsimjeong Pavilion was built in 1664, the fifth year of King Hyeonjong of Joseon, by the Neo-Confucian scholar Song Ji-il, who named it after his own pen name as a place to study together with fellow scholars; it stands atop a cliff beside the Nakdonggang River. It was damaged during the Japanese invasions of 1592 and has been rebuilt several times since. The building measures two kan on each side, with a hipped-and-gabled (paljak) roof shaped like the Chinese character 八 (eight) when viewed from the side. The front is fitted with a wooden floor, and a room is placed at the rear.
