Machine-translated from Korean. Show original

Goryeonjeong is a pavilion built on a rocky outcrop along the Namgang River, located in front of Bongjeon Village in Seo-myeon. Goryeonjeong, along with Hwalimdong Valley, Nongwoljeong, and Yongyudam, forms a scenic tourist destination. It was originally built in 1640 by Jeon Se-seo, the seventh grandson of Jeon O-ryun, a loyal official during the late Goryeo Dynasty and the ancestor of the Jeon clan of Jeongseon, who established Seosan Seowon and initially built a thatched pavilion at the current location. In 1853, Seosan Seowon was destroyed by a fire, and it was rebuilt the following year. In 1868, under the decree of Grand Prince Heungseon to abolish private academies, Seosan Seowon was dismantled. In 1872, Jeon Jae-hak, the seventh grandson of Jeon Se-seo, and others dismantled the thatched pavilion and rebuilt Goryeonjeong using the timber from the dismantled Seosan Seowon. It was renovated again in 1901.
