Hyeonchungsa Shrine
Korean name현충사
Machine-translated from Korean. Show original
Hyeonchungsa Temple was first built in 1706 (32nd year of King Sukjong's reign) as a shrine to Admiral Yi Sun-sin, the hero who saved the country from the Japanese invasions of Korea. In 1932, the Lee Chungmugong Relics Preservation Society was formed and the shrine was rebuilt. From 1966 to 1974, the government made it a sanctuary and designated it as a historic site.
This place preserves the portrait of Admiral Yi Sun-sin and the Ten Views of His Life, as well as the Chungmugong Yi Sun-sin Memorial Hall, a historical theme museum that collects related relics such as Nanjung Ilgi (national treasure) and long sword (treasure) and historical records of naval battles during the Japanese Invasion of Korea, and displays and educates them. In addition, there is the old house where Admiral Yi Sun-sin lived, an archery site, and Jeongnyeo. In addition, guided commentary is available six times a day for groups of 5 to 30 adults, and an archery experience program is operated in all seasons except winter.
A 15-minute drive away from here is the tomb of Admiral Yi Sun-sin at the three-way intersection in Eumbong-myeon. In addition, there are Onyang Hot Springs, Asangokgyocheon Campground, Yeomchi Reservoir, Chungmu Recreation Area, and Mediterranean Village nearby, so you can tour in conjunction with them.
