[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 4th that on the 3rd, it held a ceremony to deliver the designation certificate for 'Yeongam Yeongbojeong,' which was designated as Treasure No. 2054.

Yeongbojeong was previously Jeollanam-do Local Monument No. 104, but due to its unique floor plan featuring a separated room in the center of the rear row in addition to the high floor, the intricately crafted eave brackets (ikgong), and the arrangement of various types of floral patterns (hwaban), its value as a cultural asset was recognized, leading to its promotion to a nationally designated treasure.

Yeongam Yeongbojeong was built around the mid-15th century and is one of the largest pavilions related to Hyangyak (village codes) and Donggye (village associations) in the Joseon Dynasty rural communities, measuring 5 kan in the front and 3 kan on the side. Despite difficult conditions after the war, high-quality materials were used, and the overall proportions and aesthetic form, as well as the detailed structural design, exhibit a high level of completeness.

Jeon Dong-pyeong, the governor of Yeongam-gun, said, “The promotion of Yeongbojeong to a treasure is the result of the efforts and wishes of the citizens of Yeongam, bringing great joy to all residents and reaffirming Yeongam-gun’s status as a historical and cultural county.”
