The pavilion is situated in the middle of a dense forest behind the beautiful Ganggol Village, which has ownership of the pavilion. Beside a little stream is a small-sized gate with two pillars. There is a yard behind the gate. On a high ground in the rear of the yard is the pavilion. The pavilion measures 4 kan (a unit of measurement referring to the distance between two columns) at the front and 2 kan at the sides. Built in the “ㄱ”-shaped layout, it consists of two rooms and numaru (wood-floored veranda with a railing). The rooms are equipped with a furnace to heat up the underfloor. A pond and an elegant gate are at the entrance of the village. The trees in the garden around the pavilion form a harmonious landscape with the surrounding forest, showing a good example of the traditional Korean landscaping.
