Soyangjeong Pavilion

Located at the foot of Bonguisan Mountain, Soyangjeong is a pavilion built during the Three Kingdoms period. Originally called 'Iyoru', its name was changed to 'Soyangjeong' by Magistrate Yun Wangguk during the reign of King Sunjong of Joseon. Its original location was on the southern bank of the Soyanggang River, lower than its current site. It was destroyed by a flood in the 38th year of King Seonjo of Joseon (1605) and rebuilt in the 2nd year of King Gwanghaegun (1610) by Magistrate Yun Huidang. It underwent several renovations, including a reconstruction by Magistrate Eom Hwang in the 25th year of King Injo (1647). The current building was restored in 1966 after being destroyed during the Korean War. The structure measures 4 kan (bays) in front and 2 kan on the sides. Its roof is a paljak (hip-and-gable) style, shaped like the Chinese character '八' (eight) when viewed from the side. Soyangjeong is situated in a scenic setting where river and mountains harmonize. It is a historic pavilion structure that embodies the local history and culture.
