Standing grandly above the rocky cliffs of Namkang River is Chokseongnu Pavilion, arguably one of the most beautiful ‘nugaks’ (multi-storied building without walls) in the Yeongnam region.
Chokseongnu (historically known as ‘Jangwollu’) has undergone 8 renovations since its establishment in the 28th year of King Gojong (1241, Goryeo Dynasty) and was once used as a stronghold for defending Jinju Palace in times of war.
During times of peace, it was used for holding state examinations.
Although the structure was burnt down during the Korean War, it was restored in 1960 through the efforts of the Jinju Historical Site Preservation Society.
The design of the roof is similar to that of an octagon and the stone pillars were built with rocks collected from Mt.
Chokseok, located in Changwon-si.
The wood used for the structure was brought from Mt.
Odae, situated in Gangwon-do.
Noticeable features of Chokseongnu are the four engraved signboards and a board that holds the works of renowned poets and calligraphers. From the tall structure, visitors can catch a bird's-eye view of the rest of the Jinju Fortress and of the surrounding area.
Jinju Namgang Yudeung (Lantern) Festival is held each year.
