Hwanbyeokdang or Hwanbyeokdang Pavilion is a garden pavilion, near Damyang County in South Jeolla Province of South Korea, that was built by Sachon (also known as Kim Yunjae, 1501-1572) on the hill behind his house. It was constructed on a stone embankment on the hillside facing south. It has rooms on the south, north and west sides and has a wooden verandah on both the east and west sides. When originally built it was in the traditional style of a pavilion but was modified by Sachon's descendents. When first built it was surrounded by bamboo but these have now gone and in place of the bamboo there are myrtle, zelkova, phoenix, cherry and Chinese quince trees.
It was named 'Hwanbyeokdang' by Sinjam, and a rough translation is 'a place surrounded by green trees and water.' Sachon spent his later years, after the 1545 massacre of Scholars, here training young scholars. Both Jeong Cheol and Seohadang Kim Seong-Won studied here. Inside the Pavilion there are on display poems by Song Si-yeol and Im Eok-ryeong.
