Dangun Seongjeon (Taebaek)

This is a shrine located slightly above Danggol Plaza in Taebaeksan National Park, enshrining the portrait and memorial tablet of Dangun Wanggeom, the ancestral founder of the Korean people, and honoring the roots of the nation. It was built in 1982 by the National Dangun Memorial Association with donations from local residents and was rebuilt in 1993 to take its current form. Located at the foot of Taebaeksan, the nation's sacred mountain, it is a good place for quiet contemplation amid a serene atmosphere where beautiful mountain scenery and dense forests blend together. Inside the shrine, the altar holds a portrait of Dangun in a golden robe and neatly arranged brassware, and in the courtyard stands a golden statue of National Founder Dangun on a stone pedestal. Visitors can reflect on the spiritual roots of the Korean people while recalling Dangun, who founded Gojoseon, and the founding ideology of Hongik Ingan. Every year on October 3, National Foundation Day, a Dangun rite is held here, and it is a good first stop to visit together on the hiking trail up to the Cheonjedan at the summit of Taebaeksan.
