Hanpungnu Pavilion is a site where noted poets of the past used to frequent to appreciate nature and the arts. The pavilion was burned down by Japanese soldiers in 1592 (25th year of King Seonjo’s reign) and rebuilt in 1599 (32nd year of King Seonjo’s reign). During the Japanese colonial period, the pavilion served as a base for propagating Buddhism. After the liberation of Korea, it was moved to Yangsan-myeon, Yeongdong-gun and was renamed as Geumhoru Pavilion. In 1971, the people of Muju moved the pavilion to its current location of Dangsan-ri in Muju-gun, Jeollabuk-do. Hanpungnu is one of the most famous pavilions in the southwestern region of Korea, along with Hanbyeokdang in Jeonju and Gwanghallu in Namwon. It is also known to have the most picturesque exterior among the three famed pavilion.
