Manyeonheon Hall in Geumgwang-ri, Yeongju

Manyeonheon is a pavilion said to have been built by Jang Yong-gyeong (1604–1695), son of Jang Yeo-hwa (1566–1621), who was the founding ancestor of the Indong Jang clan's settlement in Geumgwang-ri. The wooden plaque bearing the name "Manyeonheon", which still hangs in the pavilion today, carries an inscribed record of its history. According to this inscription, the characters "Manyeonheon" were originally written for Jang Yong-gyeong by Jo Yeo-ik, and in 1738, the fourteenth year of King Yeongjo, Jang Han-gong had the characters carved onto a board and hung up after the original paper copy had become soiled. This indicates that a building called Manyeonheon existed by at least the early eighteenth century. The original building was later lost, and the present structure was newly built in 1957 by a ninth-generation descendant, Hyeongmun (1888–1966). After the rebuilding, Kim Dong-jin and Gwon Sang-gyu wrote a commemorative record of Manyeonheon. Although the present building dates from this comparatively late reconstruction, it remains a structure of symbolic importance for the village of Geumgwang-ri.
