Machine-translated from Korean. Show original

It is a pavilion building of the Joseon Dynasty government office inside the Cheongpung Cultural Heritage Complex. Built in the early 19th century, it was originally a two-story pavilion standing side by side with Hanbyeongnu, the guesthouse pavilion of Cheongpung-hyeon. When Chungju Dam was built, it was moved to its current location together with Hanbyeongnu. Jecheon Cheongpung Eungcheonggak is a hipped-and-gabled roof building with single eaves, three bays in front and two on the side. The building stands on a single-tier platform; the first floor has round columns with earthen walls between them, apparently used as a storehouse. On the second floor, only the front has round columns while the rest are square columns with a railing. Wooden stairs of three flights on the southeast side allow access.
This is a pavilion where the natural wood grain is left intact without dancheong (traditional painted decoration), creating a simple atmosphere. Jecheon Cheongpung Eungcheonggak is one of the buildings of the Cheongpung-hyeon government office from the Joseon Dynasty, located west of Hanbyeongnu. Its exact purpose is unknown, but it is believed to have been a place where local officials and influential figures of the town gathered to share heartfelt conversations about the lives of the people. Though a pavilion of the government office, it is a relatively modest building.
