Hwang Hui (1363-1452) is a prime minister who played a significant role in the early Joseon dynasty. Constructed in three stages, the tomb's burial mound is notably large. Hwang Hui was an official instrumental in establishing the foundations of Joseon. He served under King Taejong, the 3rd king of Joseon, and King Sejong, the 4th king, making notable contributions in diplomacy, law, science, and national defense. His descendants have continued to honor his legacy by maintaining the tomb.
