Pihyangjeong Pavilion

Pihyangjeong (披香亭), widely known as the finest pavilion of Honam, originally had ponds called Sangyeonji and Hayeonji in front of and behind the pavilion, creating beautiful scenery, but Sangyeonji was filled in during the Japanese colonial period, and now only Hayeonji (Taechangje) remains. It was named Pihyangjeong because when lotus flowers bloom in the pond, the fragrance fills the surroundings. There is a legend that during the Silla period, Master Choe Chiwon, while serving as the magistrate of Taesan County, strolled here and composed poetry, but the founding date of the pavilion is uncertain. The current pavilion is a mid-Joseon building, open on all four sides and surrounded by a railing. It is a cultural heritage that clearly shows the wooden architectural style of the mid-Joseon period and serves as important material for architectural history research. Nearby attractions include Taeinhyanggyo, Taeindongheon, Jeongtosa Temple, and the Old House Culture Experience Center, making it good for linked tourism.
