Gwontaesa Temple Spirit-path Stele

A sindobi (spirit-path stele) is erected to the southeast of a tomb to commemorate the lifetime achievements of a king or high official; this stele commemorates Taesa Gwon Haeng, the founding ancestor of the Andong Gwon clan. The stele has its body set upon a pedestal stone and capped with a roof stone; it was erected in 1621, the second year of King Hyeonjong of Joseon, by Gwon Seong-won, a county magistrate and 24th-generation descendant of Gwon Haeng. The inscription was carved in the calligraphy of Heo Mok, who later served as Right State Councillor. In 1971 a stele pavilion was built to protect it.
