Yeoncheon Sunguijeonji

Sunguijeonji is the site of Sunguijeon, a shrine built during the Joseon Dynasty to house the spirit tablets of kings and meritorious subjects from the previous Goryeo Dynasty and to conduct ancestral rites. This location originally housed Angamsa Temple, the votive temple of King Taejo Wang Geon of Goryeo. In 1397, a shrine was built to enshrine the spirit tablet of King Taejo of Goryeo, marking the beginning of Sunguijeon. After the shrine's construction, in 1399 (the first year of King Jeongjong's reign), by royal command, the spirit tablets of eight Goryeo kings—including King Taejo, King Hyejong, King Seongjong, King Hyeonjong, King Munjong, King Wonjong (Chunggyeong Wang), King Chungnyeol, and King Gongmin—were enshrined. The currently reconstructed buildings consist of Sunguijeon Hall (3 kan wide at the front and 3 kan deep), five auxiliary buildings including Baesincheong, Iancheong, and Jeonsacheong, and six gates including Naesinmun, Oesinmun, Hyeopmun (three gates), and Unjomun.
