About This Place
Prince Wolsan, born Yi Jeong, was the elder brother of King Seongjong, the 9th ruler of the Joseon dynasty. He was regarded as an accomplished writer, with his reputation said to have extended even to China. King Seongjong is known to have frequently visited Prince Wolsan’s residence, where he named a pavilion Pungwoljeong after the prince’s pen name. The prince is also remembered for his loyalty and close fraternal bond with the king. Adjacent to the shrine lies Prince Wolsan’s tomb. The shrine itself was established before 1693, with the current structures reconstructed in 1786. Preserved within the shrine is a small palanquin known as a yoeo, which was used to carry the prince’s spirit tablet.
