Mangoksa Temple, Jangseong

This is the site where an altar was first set up in 1791, the 15th year of King Jeongjo of Joseon, to honour Song-gye Bong Yu-rye, Pung-ae Bong Jeup, Muk-heon Bong Yeo-hae and others. Afterwards, in 1793, the 17th year of King Jeongjo, the shrine hall of Mangoksa was built and Bong Yeo-hae alone was enshrined there; later, in 1862, the 13th year of King Cheoljong, Bong Yu-rye, Bong Jeup and Bong Dan-ui were additionally enshrined. It was demolished in 1868, the fifth year of Emperor Gojong, under Heungseon Daewongun's order for the abolition of seowon (private Confucian academies), and was rebuilt in 1903. The surviving buildings are Mangoksa, Byeolmyo (a separate shrine), Sungjeoldang (a lecture hall), Gojiksa (caretaker's quarters), and the inner and outer three-bay gates. Mangoksa, the shrine hall, measures three bays across the front and two bays along the side, with a gabled roof shaped like the character 人 when viewed from the side. Sungjeoldang, the lecture hall, measures four bays across the front and two bays along the side.
