About

Haengjusanseong Fortress is an earthen mountain fortress on the slopes of Deogyangsan Mountain in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province. It has an inner fortress around the summit and an outer fortress enclosing a valley, built along steep riverside cliffs.

Pottery and roof tile fragments suggest it was used from the Three Kingdoms period into the Goryeo period. During the Imjin War, General Kwon Yul and his troops, including volunteer soldiers and monks, defeated a much larger Japanese force here.

Memorial rites are held each year at Chungjangsa Shrine, where his portrait is enshrined.
