Gwanghallu was originally a place where Hwang Hee Jeongseung built a small pavilion called “Gwangtongru” to enjoy the scenery when he was exiled to Namwon in 1419.
Later, in the 26th year of King Sejong (1444), Hadong Buwon-gun Jeong In-ji fell in love with the beautiful scenery and changed the name to ‘Gwanghallu’ after ‘Gwanghancheongheobu’ in Wolgung, where the beauty of the moon, Hanga, lived.
Gwanghan means moon palace. Chunhyang and Lee Mongryong also first met and fell in love right here. (Treasure No. 281)
