About this place
Nakseongdae Park honors General Kang Gam-chan (948∼1031), the renowned Goryeo commander known by the posthumous title Inheongong. Nakseongdae was his birthplace, named for the legend that a great star fell there when he was born. In 1973, Seoul restored the surrounding area and built a shrine and auxiliary buildings. Anguksa Shrine on the park’s east side houses his portrait, with the outer three-gate Angukmun and an inner three-gate entrance in front. Modeled on Muryangsujeon Hall at Buseoksa Temple in Yeongju, a leading example of Goryeo wooden architecture, it has an imposing octagonal blue-tiled roof. Inside the gate stands the 3-story Nakseongdae stone pagoda, moved from the general’s birthplace, with a memorial stele opposite. Dense woodland, seasonal flowers and autumn foliage create beautiful scenery. Birch, pine, oak, aspen and fir groves are threaded by 3㎞ of paths. There are also a pond, an outdoor play plaza and an outdoor wedding venue. Near the road to Seoul National University’s rear gate, it attracts many visitors and is a landmark of southern Seoul. ✨AI
