A guard pavilion, called por in Korean, is an outwardly projecting structure topped with a pavilion that functioned as a soldiers' lookout. There are five guard pavilions in Hwaseong Fortress.

The Northern Guard Pavilion, built between the Northwestern Artillery Pavilion and the Northwestern Watchtower, is the largest of the guard pavilions in Hwaseong Fortress. The structures in the northern section of this fortress are large in comparison to those of other sections, because its surroundings were wide and open, and a larger number of soldiers were required to stay in this area.
