해설문

국문

송현수(宋玹壽)는 조선 초기의 문신이며, 단종(端宗) 임금의 장인이다. 이 건물은 송현수(宋玹壽)의 신위를 모시는 사당이다. 부조묘(不祧廟)는 조선시대에 신위를 옮기지 않도록 허락받은 신주를 모시는 사당을 말한다. 1791년(정조 15)에 처음 세웠으나, 1928년 후손들이 지금의 위치로 옮겨 다시 지은 건물이다. 20세기 초 건축 양식을 잘 간직하고 있다.

영문

Song Hyeon-su (?-1457) was the father-in-law of King Danjong (r. 1452-1455) of the Joseon Dynasty. Danjong ascended to the throne at the young age of only 12, but lost the throne by his uncle, who later became King Sejo (r. 1455-1468). During this political turmoil, Song Hyeon-su attempted to restore Danjong to the throne but failed to be executed. In 1698, he was reinstated by a royal order, and his shrine was first built in 1791, before being moved to the current location in 1928. 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.
