It was burned down during the Imjin War and rebuilt in 1609 to its current form before being designated a national treasure in 1963. The two-story, pavilion-shaped wooden structure is located in the southwest and is known for its stunning red plum blossoms and autumn leaves in the spring and fall, respectively.
