Taekseungjeong

Taekseungjeong, located in Yongmun-myeon, Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, was a temple where the Namwon Yang clan practiced archery. It is said that they read writing at nearby Bonghwangjeong and learned archery at Taekseungjeong, thereby nurturing talents who were skilled in both civil and martial arts. Taekseungjeong is designated as Yangpyeong-gun Local Relic No. 25.
‘Taekseung (澤升)’ is interpreted as a name using ‘Taek (澤)’, which means that learning the bow by the pond is the custom of the previous king, and ‘Seung (升)’, which means that it is the duty of a gentleman to observe etiquette and go up and down the pavilion.
The current building is known to have been built on the existing archery site by the Namwon Yang clan of Gwangtan-ri in 1830 (30th year of King Sunjo's reign), and a plaque was hung by soldier Yang Ju-tae in 1840 (6th year of King Heonjong's reign). The building has a gable roof with Korean-style rib tiles, and is a guldori house with round pillars built on a cornerstone made of natural stone. There is a numaru inside.
