Yeongdong Nangyesa Shrine

This shrine enshrines the memorial tablet of Nangye Park Yeon (1378–1458), a civil official and music scholar of the early Joseon period. Park Yeon, who contributed greatly to reorganizing music with the help of King Sejong, was well versed in musical theory. In the 7th year of King Sejong's reign (1425), he compiled a work containing the pitch system of aak, illustrations of musical instruments, and musical scores, and in 1427 he made 12 pyeongyeong and personally performed according to the 12 yulgwan he had created. In the shrine area are Seondeoksa, which enshrines the memorial tablets of six people including Park Yeon, Park Yeon's grave, the tombstone of his cousin Gukdang Park Heungsaeng (朴興生), and Ssanghyogak (雙孝閣). Upon entering the outer three-door gate, there is a shrine with a signboard reading 'Nangyesa 蘭溪祠' measuring 3 bays in front and 2 bays on the side. From the shrine entrance, where a statue and monument of Nangye greet visitors, to the outer three-door gate, a green lawn spreads out and there are many trees, making it a good place to rest.
