Choe Yun-deok's Shrine in Perpetuity

Choe Yun-deok (1376-1445) was one of the great commanders in the early Joseon period and served as a second state councilor during the reign of King Sejong (r. 1418-1450). His shrine was originally built in his hometown, Changwon, but was moved to Jangsu when his great-grandson Choe Yun was exiled to the area. The current building was reconstructed in 1927 and displays the architectural style of the early 20th century. In Korean Confucian tradition, a spirit tablet is generally held in a shrine only for four generations. However, a shrine in perpetuity houses a spirit tablet permanently in recognition of exceptional deeds and virtue of the deceased.
