Cheonggeumjeong Pavilion ∙chunghyeonsa Temple, Hapcheon

This shrine, Cheonggeumjeong, was built by the descendants of Yi Won-gyeong to honour his memory. Yi Won-gyeong served in the Goryeo dynasty as jihyeongwan (a provincial magistrate), jikjehak (an academy official) and geumjagwangnok daebu (a high court rank), before later resigning office and settling at Sangsang-gok in Dusang-myeon, Hapcheon County. The shrine was built in 1692, the eighteenth year of King Sukjong of Joseon; it originally had four bays across the front, but one bay was later added on each side. Its roof is a gable (matbae) roof, forming the shape of the character 人 when seen from the side. Chunghyeonsa is a shrine built in 1895, the thirty-second year of Emperor Gojong, to honour the memory of three virtuous scholars: Yi Chi, Yi Hong-jo and Yi Il-lo. It originally stood within Nongsan Seowon, a Confucian academy, but when the academy was abolished under Heungseon Daewongun's order closing such academies, only Chunghyeonsa survived.
