Yeonghoru (pavilion ) was originally built 14th century and was rebuilt 1970s

Originally built in the late 14th century, the pavilion served as a banquet hall for the local nobility. It was destroyed a number of times in catastrophic floods that frequently ravage the Nakdong river. The last incident occurred in the 1970s, when the pavilion was completely washed away.

After each flood the only item to be recovered was the signboard penned by King Gongmin, one of the last rulers of Goryeo. The signboard is the only original element of the pavilion. King Gongmin visited the pavilion frequently during his stay in Andong, where he remained to prevent his capture by marauding Mongol invaders.
