Chungnyeolsa Shrine (Busan)

Chungnyeolsa Shrine is where the memorial tablets of the patriotic martyrs who died defending the Busan area during the Japanese invasions of Korea (Imjin War) are enshrined, including Song Sang-hyeon, the Dongnae Magistrate; Jeong Bal, the Busanjin Cheomjeoljesa; and Yun Heung-sin, the Dadaejin Cheomjeoljesa. It was designated as a Busan Metropolitan City Tangible Cultural Heritage on June 26, 1972. In 1605 (the 38th year of King Seonjo's reign), Yun Hwon, the Dongnae Magistrate at the time, built Songgongsa Shrine on Nongjusan Mountain outside the south gate of Dongnae Eupseong Fortress, enshrining Song Sang-hyeon's memorial tablet, and held a memorial rite every year to honor him. Due to a petition by Yi Min-gu, the Seonwisa, Songgongsa Shrine was granted the name Chungnyeolsa in 1624 (the 2nd year of King Injo's reign) and its name was changed. The current Chungnyeolsa Shrine, after a purification project in 1978, came to have facilities such as the main hall (Bonjeon), Uiyegak Pavilion, a memorial hall, the Jeonghwa Memorial Monument, the Monument to Song Sang-hyeon's Famous Words, and the Chungnyeol Tower.
