Byeokanjeong Pavilion, Hapcheon

Byeokanjeong is where Park In (1583–1640), known by his pen name Mumindang, of the Park clan of Goryeong, pursued his scholarship; it is a pavilion built for Confucian scholars researching Neo-Confucianism. Park In had no ambition for official office and lived in retirement in the countryside, a scholar distinguished for his virtue, learning and loyalty. Built in 1639, the 17th year of King Injo, the pavilion measures three bays across the front and two bays to the side, its roof built in the hip-and-gable style that forms the shape of the character for "eight" (八) when viewed from the side. Wooden flooring covers the entire left side and front, and the building is enclosed by a carved railing.
