A corner pavilion, called gangnu in Korean, was built on the high ground of the fortress to watch the surrounding area and to be used for leisure. The name comes from the fact that there is one such pavilion at each of the four corners of Hwaseong Fortress.

The Northeastern Corner Pavilion is an L-shaped building with a sophisticated and complex roof design. It is commonly known by the name "Banghwasuryujeong".

The pavilion overlooks a large pond, and the harmony of the pavilion
and its beautiful surroundings is the most outstanding among the various structures in Hwaseong Fortress. Originally, the pavilion was built as a command center, but over time, it came to be used as a place for enjoying the scenery rather than for military purposes. The pavilion was dismantled to be rebuilt in 1934.
