It is also home to Gwandeokjeong, National Treasure No.322.

But it was systemically destroyed during the Japanese Colonial Period (August 1910 to August 15, 1945) with the exception of Gwandeokjeong, which remained intact. The current Jeju Mokgwana was restored in December 2002 following four extensive excavation projects from 1991 to 1998 (in order to find its structures as well as locations of buildings) and based upon expert opinions as well as old documents.
