Sanguijae Hall of Chungjeolsa Temple

These buildings commemorate the loyalty of Eom Heung-do. Eom Heung-do was a man of principle in Joseon who, it is said, recovered the body of King Danjong, the sixth king of Joseon, after he was killed at Yeongwol, and gave it a proper burial. From the mid-17th century a policy developed of honouring loyal subjects and the Sayuksin, the six martyred ministers, and in recognition of Eom Heung-do's loyalty his descendants were appointed to official posts and he himself was enshrined at Yuksinsa Shrine. In 1750, the twenty-sixth year of King Yeongjo, a separate grave was prepared to commemorate his deeds, and in 1755, the thirty-first year of King Yeongjo, a shrine called Sangjeolsa was built. In 1833, the thirty-third year of King Sunjo, Sangjeolsa was elevated to the status of Uisan Seowon, a Confucian academy, but it was later demolished under the order of Heungseon Daewongun abolishing seowon academies. Afterwards, in 1900, Sanguijae, corresponding to the lecture hall of Uisan Seowon, was built, and a separate spirit tablet was enshrined there under the name Chungjeolsa.
