Bakjesang Historic Site

The Park Je-sang Historic Site is a group of relics related to Park Je-sang, including Chisan Seowon, Mangbuseok, and Euneulam, located in Manhwa-ri, Wolyyeong-ri, and Cheokgwa-ri, Dudong-myeon, Ulju-gun, Ulsan, and was designated as an Ulsan Metropolitan City Monument on October 9, 1997.
Park Jae-sang, a loyal subject of Silla, crossed over to Japan to rescue Misahun, the younger brother of King Nulji, but refused the demand to become a subject of Japan and was ultimately burned at the stake. Along with this, the sad legend of his wife, who waited for her husband after he left and became a stone of waiting, is also passed down. Confucian scholars and descendants of the Joseon Dynasty built Chisan Seowon to honor the loyalty of Park Jae-sang and his family, but it was demolished in 1868 by Heungseon Daewongun's decree to abolish seowon, and was restored in 1991.
Currently, Chisan Seowon houses the Chungnyeolmyo Shrine, which enshrines the memorial tablet and portrait of Pak Jesang, the Sinmosa Shrine dedicated to his wife, and the Sammosa Shrine and Ssangjeongnyeo dedicated to his two daughters. Nearby are the Chungnyeolgong Pak Jesang Memorial Hall, opened in 2008, and a memorial monument. Across from the memorial hall, the Ulju Culture Center is well equipped with explanations of Ulju County's past and local historical sites, making it a great place to experience history on site with children.
