Ieokjang Group Memorial Gate

This is a memorial gate (jeongnyeogak) built to honour General Sinam Yi Eok, who held the posthumous title of Deputy Minister of War (jeung byeongjo chamui) and took his own life after the defeat at Namhansanseong Fortress. The building measures one bay on both its front and side, and its roof is a gabled (matbae) roof shaped like the Chinese character 人 (person) when seen from the side. Hongsal, arrow-shaped wooden stakes traditionally used to mark a place of honour, are set around all four sides of the memorial gate.
