Jinnamgwan

Jinnamgwan (진남관) is a large, wooden guest house in Gunja-dong, Yeosu city, Jeollanam-do. Designated as national treasure no. 304 in 2001, Jinnamgwan is the only structure left of Jwasuyeong, where 17th-century Dutch explorer Hendrick Hamel was held. The site was also a headquarters of Admiral Yi Sun-sin in the late-16th century. The site today consists of a small museum, the Yeosu Stone Man, and the guest house, which is 54.5 meters long, 14.5 meters high, and has 240 pyeong of floor space. The guest house was originally built in 1599, was renovated in 1718, and has been rebuilt and revamped several times since then.
