About this place
Yeonpung Martyrs' Shrine offers a journey into a place of profound tranquility and deep historical significance. Nestled in the Goesan countryside, this sacred ground commemorates the Korean Catholics who were martyred for their faith during the severe Byeongin Persecution of 1866. The site, once a place of execution, has been transformed into a beautiful sanctuary for prayer and reflection. Its striking modern church architecture stands in poignant contrast to the solemn history, which is honored at a recreated execution site and outdoor Stations of the Cross. The shrine's serene landscape recently gained fame as a filming location for the hit K-drama 'Queen of Tears,' attracting both pilgrims and drama fans. When visiting, take a quiet walk along the peaceful paths and absorb the contemplative atmosphere. As it is an active place of worship, please maintain a respectful demeanor. This unique blend of solemn history, serene nature, and modern culture makes it a compelling destination for healing and reflection.
