Uljin-gun Opens Sutomunhwa Exhibition Hall at Daepunghun ... Joseon Dynasty Ulleungdo Administrator's Residence

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Uljin-gun, Gyeongbuk announced on the 23rd that it held the opening ceremony of the Suto Culture Exhibition Hall at Daepunghun (蔚珍 待風軒), Gusan-ri, Giseong-myeon, Gyeongbuk Monument No. 165, on the 22nd.

As part of the 3rd Cultural Belt Project, Uljin-gun completed the exhibition hall along with an observatory, rest area, and surrounding maintenance projects with a budget of 9.6 billion KRW.

The Suto Culture Exhibition Hall was built in a traditional style harmonizing with cultural assets, with one above-ground floor, six bays in the front, and four bays on the side. Construction began in July 2017, and the exhibition hall was completed in July 2019. Since then, surrounding maintenance projects have been ongoing until recently.

Daepunghun, where the exhibition hall is located, was a place where the Sutosas (搜討使), officials who searched Ulleungdo (Dokdo), stayed while waiting for favorable winds. Uljin-gun dismantled and restored it in 2010.

County Governor Jeon Chan-geol stated, "The Suto Culture Exhibition Hall was built at a historically significant site where the Sutosas patrolling Ulleungdo during the Joseon Dynasty stayed. By informing the entire nation about the history of Suto, it is expected to further solidify our country's sovereignty over Dokdo."
