A museum for the poet Na Tae-ju, best known for the short poem “Pulkkot” (Grass Flower). It opened in an old Japanese-style house in October 2014 and gained a new wing in July 2025; the Pulkkot literary prize is awarded from here.

The town cinema — opened 1963, rebuilt 1967, dark since 1995 — came back in July 2026 as a media-art hall. A 21-meter-wide LED wall on the ground floor, the old projection room recreated upstairs, and a terrace overlooking the stream.

Open since 1937, below the fortress hill. The traditional market days fall on dates ending in 1 and 6 — the 1st, 6th, 11th and so on — and that is when the outer stalls fill up.
