Chungnyeolsa Shrine in Tongyeong is dedicated to Admiral Yi Sun-sin, a national hero whose naval victories were crucial in repelling Japanese invasions of Korea in the 1590s. The shrine complex includes Dongjae and Seojae, where ritual ceremonies are prepared; a main shrine housing his spirit tablet and portrait; and an exhibit hall showcasing artifacts related to the Japanese Invasion of 1592. Rituals honoring the Admiral continue to be held every spring and fall to this day.
