Machine-translated from Korean. Show original

Around the 29th year of King Sunjo's reign (1829), Choi Gyu-moon's father felt sorry that when the Wangseo River overflowed with rain, he could not visit his father's grave on the north side of Gisan (騏山) across the river. For Choi Gyu-moon's father, this can be called 'a pavilion to look at his father' and for Choi Gyu-moon, it can be said to be a 'pavilion to comfort his father'. During reconstruction in 1947, the thatched roof was replaced with a tile roof. Yonghojeong, built on the north bank of the Tamjingang River, has a river flowing 10m below and Giyeoksan Mountain, 250m above sea level, rising far to the southwest. The landscape is very beautiful both from inside the pavilion and from the river outside the pavilion. The scenery consisting of the deep water under the pavilion and the strange rock cliffs on the riverside is exquisite. The front yard of the house has a flat bedrock, making it suitable for sitting and resting or looking at the surrounding landscape. There are also strange stones placed in the yard.
