Ssanggul Bridge in Nogeun-ri, Yeongdong

Built in 1934, this bridge is an arched twin-tunnel pier built over the Gaegeun Stream with the opening of the Gyeongbu Line railway, and is famous as the site of the 'Nogeun-ri Incident', in which many civilians were killed during the Korean War. Over four days, from 26 to 29 July 1950, just a month after the outbreak of the Korean War, retreating US forces herded residents and refugees from Jugok-ri and Imgye-ri in Yeongdong-eup into the tunnel bridge and carried out a mass killing; bullet marks (marked with ○ and △) remain there to this day, conveying the situation at the time just as it was.
