Sayangjeongsa Temple, Sancheong

Sayangjeongsa was built in the 1920s and clearly displays the architectural character of a modern hanok (traditional Korean house). It is a jaesil, a memorial hall for ancestral rites, built by Jeong Deok-yeong, son of the Confucian scholar Gyeje Jeong Je-yong (1865–1907), and his eldest grandson Jeong Jeong-hwa, after the family moved to Namsa, in order to commemorate their late father. The building measures seven kan (bays) across the front and two kan in depth, with a hipped-and-gabled roof. The outer row of columns is round and the inner row square. At each end is a one-kan wooden floor (maru) fitted with a gyeja balustrade, a decorative railing with curved posts. Two kan of daecheong, an open wooden-floored hall, sit at the centre, flanked by rooms of two kan on the right and one kan on the left.
