Jeju-mok Government Office

제주목관아 · Jeju · Palaces & heritage

The Jeju-mok Government Office was a gwana, or regional government office, that historically served as the center of Jeju Island’s political, administrative, and cultural activities, spanning from its early days as the State of Tamna through the Joseon period. A significant portion of the structure was destroyed in a fire in 1434, leading to subsequent rebuilding efforts. From 1991, archeological excavations were conducted in four stages, enabling the meticulous restoration of several key buildings within the complex. These include the Honghwagak Pavilion, Yeonhuigak Pavilion, Uyeondang Pavilion, Gyullimdang Pavilion, and Gwandeokjeong Pavillion, all of which were restored by December 2002. Additionally, the complex is known for hosting annual nighttime events.
