This Commemorative Pavilion was erected to honor Yeon Choi-jeok for his great loyalty and filial devotion. Yeon Choi-Jeok was a member of the Goksan Yeon clan, which settled in the Cheongju region. The current pavilion is a wooden building that has a hip-and-gable, tiled roof with double-layered eaves, and double-wing bracket style, and measures three kan (a unit of measurement referring to the distance between two columns) at the front and two kan at the sides. A wooden plaque inscribed with the words “Yeongongchunghyoyangjeonmun” (the front gate of the commemorative pavilion of Yeon Choi-jeok) is hung from the lintel at the front, while the plaque of the commemorative pavilion is hung inside the pavilion, which also houses a commemorative stele erected in 1748.
