Foundation Stones of Sindo-nae, Gyeryongsan

The Gyeryongsan Sindo Naeju Foundation Stone is a cultural asset scattered throughout Sindoan-myeon, Gyeryong-si, Chungcheongnam-do. Sindoan-myeon is an area that was selected as a candidate for capital transfer by King Taejo of the Joseon Dynasty after he founded the country. To build the palace, many people were mobilized to transport wood and stone for about a year, but it was stopped on the grounds that Sindoan was located in the southern part of the country, had inconvenient transportation and water supply, and was unfavorable to the new dynasty as it was similar to Gaegyeong in Goryeo in terms of feng shui. At this time, about 115 foundation stones that were brought to the palace site to be used as foundation stones remain. It was designated and preserved as a tangible cultural property of South Chungcheong Province in 1976, and is currently partially located within a military facility protection zone, making it difficult to view the entire site.
