The Sujeongjangdae Pavilion is a military watchtower built for command and observation purposes. It is the only remaining one of the five pavilions (Dongjangdae, Seojangdae, Namjangdae, Bukjangdae, Oedongjangdae) that once stood at Namhansanseong Fortress. Located at the summit of Cheongnyangsan Mountain (482m above sea level), it is the most splendid and magnificent structure remaining within the fortress walls.

The lower level is a two-story pavilion with a hip-and-gable roof, measuring 5 bays wide and 3 bays deep.
The upper level measures 3 bays wide and 2 bays deep. Both levels feature overlapping eaves.
The ends of the rafters are adorned with clay finials, dragon heads are placed on the eave ridges, and dragon-head finials crown the ridgepole.
The building's pillars rest on octagonal pillar bases 60 cm high, and the brackets are of the main-post style with protruding eaves. In the 27th year of King Yeongjo's reign (1751), it was expanded into a two-story pavilion. A plaque reading ‘Sueojangdae (Defensive Command Post)’ was installed on the exterior, and one reading ‘Muwangnu (Tower of Remembrance)’ was placed inside.
