Remains of General Choi Ho

General Choi Ho-gunji is a shrine that enshrines the memorial tablet of General Choi Ho, a military figure during the Joseon Dynasty. It was built by Choi Ho-seon, a descendant of Choi Ho, in the 5th year of King Yeongjo's reign (1729), and it enshrines the memorial tablets of Choi Ho's father, Choi Han-jeong, and Choi Ho's sons and grandsons, Choi Mong-ran and Choi Hyo-seol. General Choi Ho, who was born in Balsa-ri, Gaejeon-myeon, Gunsan-si, served in various government positions as a military officer, and was killed in the Battle of Chilcheonryang during the Jeongyujaeran. Here, relics related to General Choi Ho and the Saminbo Sword, a local cultural heritage of Gunsan City, are stored.
The remains of General Choi Ho are comprised of a shrine, a relic exhibition hall, and a graveyard. When you enter the shrine, you will see a building with a signboard saying ‘Loyalty Temple’ on the front, which makes you feel the righteous footsteps of loyalists who sacrificed their lives for the country. It was designated as a Jeollabuk-do monument in recognition of its architectural value, which shows the typical characteristics of shrine architecture during the Joseon Dynasty, and the important significance of General Choi Ho to our country and region.
