Miryang Wolnyeongjeong Pavilion

Woryeongjeong Pavilion was built in the 15th year of King Jungjong of Joseon (1520) by Master Woryeon Yi Tae, and was originally the site of Woryeongsa. Master Yi Tae was a civil official of the mid-Joseon period who, when the Gimyo Sahwa (1519), in which the faction of Jo Gwang-pil—who pursued reformist politics based on Neo-Confucianism—was killed, gave up his official post and came down to this place. Ssanggyeongdang, the main hall of Woryeongjeong, was burned down during the Imjin War but was rebuilt in the 33rd year of King Yeongjo (1757) by Woram Yi Ji-bok. Then, in the 3rd year of King Gojong (1866), Yi Jong-sang and Yi Jong-jeung repaired Woryeondae near the pavilion and built Jaeheon.
Woryeongjeong Pavilion has a hip-and-gable roof in the shape of the character 八 (eight), with 5 bays at the front and 2 bays at the side. Ssanggyeongdang has doors that can be opened to view the surrounding scenery, and rooms and a fireplace (agungi) were installed so it could be used throughout all four seasons. Jaeheon is also 5 bays at the front and 2 bays at the side, built in the form of a main hall, a room, and a main hall. Woryeondae, located on the highest hill, is 3 bays at the front and 3 bays at the side, with only the central bay made into a room with sliding doors on all four sides. All these buildings, gathered in a place with outstanding scenery, serve as pavilions for appreciating the surrounding beauty and are built in different forms, which is interesting. Besides these buildings, there are relics such as Tangeumam and Ssangcheongyo Bridge, and rare trees such as the white pine and the black bamboo.
