1 Introduction to Naju Geumseonggwan.
Naju Geumseonggwan This building was the guest house of Naju Mok, where the king was paid respects on the 1st and 15th of every month, and banquets were held when foreign envoys or high-ranking government officials visited.
It is not clear when it was first built, but it is presumed that it was built by Lee Yu-in, the governor of Naju, during the reign of King Seongjong of Joseon, based on the records in the Sinjeung Dongguk Yeoji Seungram.
After the Japanese invasions of Korea, in 1617 (the 10th year of King Gwanghaegun’s reign), Kim Gae, the governor of Naju, rebuilt Geumseonggwan in a grand and magnificent way.
The original building was built by Lee Yu-in, who served as the governor of Naju between the 6th and 10th years of King Seongjong’s reign (1475–1479), and it has been rebuilt several times to become what it is today.
It is a 320.66m² (97 pyeong) building with 5 bays in the front, 4 bays on the side, and an octagonal roof, and is the most magnificent of all guest houses in the country.
In 1919, Geumseonggwan was used as the Naju County Office, and Dongikheon, Seoikheon, and Manghwaru were all demolished.
In 1972, Geumseonggwan in Naju was designated as a tangible cultural heritage of Jeollanam-do, and since then, restoration of Naju Guest House has been in progress, resulting in its current appearance.
