Must-Visit Places in Goesan County
Introducing two places worth visiting in Goesan: Chungminsa and Goesan Hyanggyo.
Chungminsa, a designated cultural monument of North Chungcheong Province No. 12, and Goesan Hyanggyo, a cultural heritage site No. 102.
Chungminsa is located in a truly picturesque area.
This site is dedicated to General Kim Si-min, who died during the Imjin War.
He became the governor of Jinju and led significant victories against the enemy forces.
The shrine was established in 1978 as part of a heritage preservation project.
Originally built in Jinju in 1652, the shrine was demolished during the late Joseon period.
Later, it was relocated to its current site due to the construction of the Chungju Dam in 1976.
Visitors can see the statue of General Kim Si-min at Chungminsa.
Please visit with a respectful heart.
Goesan Hyanggyo is a cultural heritage site No. 102 of North Chungcheong Province.
It served as a local educational institution during the Joseon Dynasty.
The site includes various buildings such as the main hall, dormitories, and restrooms.
It is believed to have been established in the early Joseon period, later moved to its current location in 1521.
After several renovations, it was completely restored in 1981.
The layout of Goesan Hyanggyo follows a traditional structure, with educational spaces in the front.
The main hall houses tablets of Confucius and other sages, and rituals are held in spring and autumn.
However, modern education gradually diminished its educational role, leaving only the rituals.
