National Treasure No. 51 / 국보 51호 (designated date 1962.12.20)

 This is the the oldest of front gate in Korea, built in Goryeo Period(A.D. 919 -1392). The resident building has been destroyed and only this gate is remained. It was called Imyeonggwan with 83-room building in the 19th year of King Taejo of the Goryeo Period (936) with the tablet written by King Gongmin(A.D. 1351 - 1374).

 There had been various repairs, and it was used for a school building during the Japanese colonization. After being demolished, Gangneung police station was built in 1967.  The part of Gaeksa was moved to build Oseongjeong Pavilion on Namsan Mountain, Wolhwajeong Pavilion in Geumsan Mountain and Banghaejeong Pavilion in Gyeongpo .It occupies three rooms in the front and 2 rooms in the sides.The roof is made in the wedge-shaped style. The pillars are swollen in the middle and the large plywood gate was placed in the front.This is jusimpo style building, in which the pillars supporting the eaves are only placed at the top of the main pillar. Although it is simple without various armaments, the elegant carving skills represent the typical art works of the Goryeo Period.
