Engraving the Spirit of Patriotism in the Sacred Grounds of National Defense

This site was built in 1924 by Kim Ju-hui, the Namjeopju (head of a jeop, an organizational unit of Donghak), to expand the religion's reach. From 1925, using this place as a base, he sought to revive the religion across the northern Gyeongbuk region—including Sangju, Mungyeong, and Yecheon—while evading surveillance by the Japanese colonial government.
