Gyeongju Seokbinggo (Korean: 경주석빙고; Hanja: 慶州石氷庫) is an ancient ice house located in Inwang-dong, Gyeongju, South Korea. It literally means "stone ice storage" in Korean.[1]
Gyeongju Seokbinggo was originally made of wood in the Wolseong Fortress by the buyun (부윤, county magistrate) Jo Myeong-gyeom (조명겸) in 1738, the 14th year of King Yeongjo's reign during the Joseon Dynasty. It was moved to the current place four years later, which can be verified by the keystone scripts on the entrance and the monument standing next to the storage. The old seokbinggo site still remains about 100m west from the current one.[2][3][4][5]
The Gyeongju Seokbinggo has been designated as the 66th Treasure of South Korea in 1963 and is managed by the Department of Culture and Tourism of Gyeongju.[1]
