Jincheon Gilsangsa

[3][5] Gilsangsa, or Shrine Gilsang, was built under the mountain Taeryeongsan (태령산; 胎靈山) where the tae (태; 胎; refers to tissues such as placenta or umbilical cord) of General Kim Yu-sin was buried.

[5] In 1851, a shrine named Jukgyesa (죽계사; 竹溪祠) was built in the village of Gaejuk, Gusu-ri, Baekgok-myeon.

Afterwards, in 1866, the shrine Seobalhansadang (서발한사당; 舒發翰祠堂) was built under the mountain fortress Dodangsanseong (도당산성; 都堂山城).

Finally, it was completely rebuilt in 1975 as part of the historic sites managing project (사적지 정화사업) and since then remains open to visitors.

[2][11][12][4] Also inside is the Shinseong Monument of the Great King Heungmu (흥무대왕신성비; 興武大王神聖碑), built in 1957 in the outer side of the main hall.
