Address : 20 Beobheung-Dong, Andong, N-Gyeongsang Province
Description :
The Imcheonggak Pavilion was built as home during the Joseon Dynasty [1392-1919] because of one aristocratic family's love for the scenic beauty of the area. The most famous structure on this property is the annexed pavilion. Imcheonggak is designated Treasure No.182. Thankfully this structure was untouched during the Japanese Invasion taking place from 1592~1598.
An autograph of the famous Confucius scholar, Lee Hwang [1501~1570], can be found hanging outside the pavilion.

Travel Tips :
Andong Imcheonggak is located near the Sinsedong Chilcheung Jeontap (seven-story pagoda) and the head residence of the Goseong Lee clan in Beobeung-Dong, so it's a good idea to include them in your plan for the day. When traveling by bus or taxi, get off in front of Beopheung underground passage. After passing through the tunnel, Sinsedong Chilcheung Jeontap (seven-story pagoda) will be visible directly to your left and the Goseong Lee head residence will be directly in front of you. Andong Imcheonggak is approximately a three minute walk from this point.
