Namhui Pavilion was originally the outer gate of a government office and was demolished under the rule of Japanese Imperialism in 1923. After it had been moved to the side of Namgye Stream, it was moved again to the present location in 1976.
Originally called Yeongamun Namhwi Pavilion, it was said to have been built by the Magistrate of Hyeon, An Chaek in 1667, but no confirmation of this has been found.
Namhui Pavilion was identified as Pyemun Pavilion in the front of Goheung Gate on an old map. It is notable that Namhui Pavilion was not a two-story building, but one-story in the picture on the map. The name Pyemun Pavilion generally means "shutting and opening the gate" A large drum was usually hung on the second floor and regularly struck to indicate the time, as well as the time of opening and closing of the gate.
Namhui Pavilion is now a two-story building that consists of three sections in the front and two along the side. All four sides of the first and the second floors are open, and its hip-and-gable roof has four protruding comers on the four edges of the double eaves. The four mocked posts are used as supports.
Namhui Pavilion is an important cultural asset because there are no more than ten gateways of government offices remaining in the country.
Goheung Namhwiru is Cultural Property Material #183.
