Located in Daedong, Jeungpyeong-eup, Jeungpyeong-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, the Dangunjeon Shrine was erected by Kim Gi-seok and a group of local leaders on May 27, 1948 to promote the national spirit based on the founding principle (“hongik ingan,” which means “to broadly benefit the human world”) of Korea’s legendary founder, King Dangun, and to encourage reverence for heaven and veneration of one’s ancestors. Surrounded by a protective wall, the shrine is a wooden structure with a hip-and-gable, tiled roof and measures three kan (a unit of measurement referring to the distance between two columns) at the front and two kan at the sides. Its name plaque was written by Kim Sa-dal (pen-name: Seobong). It enshrines a portrait of Dangun (width: 42cm; length: 82 cm) which depicts him seated on a chair, wearing a white robe and a pyeongjeonggeon (flat-top hat). An ancestral ceremony is held by the Dangunjeon Bongchanhoe Association on the National Foundation Day of Korea (October 3) and Eocheonjeol (Ascension Day of Dangun, March 15 on the lunar calendar) every year.
