A registered Historic Site, Gyeonggijeon Shrine was founded in 1410 and holds the portrait of King Tae-jo, the founder of the Joseon dynasty. The shrine was originally given the name Eoyongjeon, but was changed to its current name in 1442, the 24th year of King Sejong the Great. The structure was partially destroyed during the Imjin War (1592-1598), and was restored in 1614. Gyeonggijeon Shrine is beloved by the locals and tourists for its elegance and the lush tree groves in the middle of the city. ◎ Travel Information to Experience the Charm of Hallyu A traditional space in the middle of the city that preserves the elegance of the Joseon Dynasty, featuring the main hall, stone walls, and bamboo forest that create the perfect atmosphere for historical dramas.
