Hyeonchungsa Shrine is a shrine dedicated to Admiral Yi Sun-sin, the hero who saved the nation during the Imjin War. It was first established in 1706 (32nd year of King Sukjong's reign). In 1932, the Yi Chungmugong Historic Preservation Society was formed and rebuilt the shrine. From 1966 to 1974, it was sanctified and designated as a historic site by the government. The site preserves Admiral Yi's portrait and the 'Sipgyeongdo' (Ten Scenes Paintings) depicting his life, as well as historical artifacts such as the 'Nanjung Ilgi' (War Diary, a National Treasure) and swords (Treasures). The Chungmugong Yi Sun-sin Memorial Hall, a history-themed center, collects and exhibits naval war records from the Imjin War for education. Additionally, the site includes Admiral Yi's old residence, an archery range, and a Jeongryeo (commemorative monument). Group guided tours are available six times daily for 5 to 30 people, and archery experience programs operate seasonally except in winter. About a 15-minute drive from here, at Sambong-ri in Sambong-myeon, is Admiral Yi Sun-sin's tomb. Nearby attractions include Onyang Hot Springs, Asan Gokgyocheon Camping Site, Yeomchi Reservoir and Chungmu Recreation Area, and the Mediterranean Village, offering opportunities for combined tourism.

The Maeng Sa-seong Old House faces Seolhwasan Mountain to the west and Baebangsan Mountain to the northeast and is one of the oldest traditional houses in Korea that has been preserved intact for hundreds of years. It is said that it was originally the home of General Choi Young, a loyal subject of the late Goryeo period, and was inherited by Maeng Sa-seong, who became Choi Young's granddaughter-in-law. The house is a 'ㄷ'-shaped Matbae style house, with wood that is almost carbonized pine, decorated between the pillars and beams with dan-gu featuring phoenix tongues (bongseol). The inner room ceiling is made of 'Sora Ban-ja,' a rare wooden ceiling. The Maengssi Haengdan, designated as a historic site, is literally a house with a ginkgo tree terrace where the Maeng family lived, and includes Maeng Gobul's old house, Gugaejeong, and Ssanghaengsu, collectively called 'Maengssi Haengdan.' Maeng Sa-seong personally planted these two ginkgo trees and devoted himself to learning while teaching his disciples.

송악면의 남단 봉수산의 동북 계곡에 위치한 고찰이다. 울창한 송림으로 에워싸인 진입로와 배산이 청정도장의 면모를 돋보이게 한다. 향각전과 상성각은 근년에 세워진 반면 대웅전과 요사는 고풍스러운 목조 건물의 구조를 간직하고 있어 1891년 서봉화상에 의한 중수 기록과 걸맞은 것으로 판단된다.
