* A Three Kingdoms period shell-type stone fortress, Sangdang Fortress * The name Sangdang Fortress appears to originate from Sangdang-hyeon of the Baekje period in the Three Kingdoms era. It is a massive shell-type stone fortress exceeding 4km in circumference. The fortress is believed to have first been built as an earthen fortress during the Baekje period, and records suggest that Kim Seohyeon (Wonjeonggong), the third son of Kim Yushin, constructed Seowonsulseong here. Later, it was rebuilt during the Japanese invasions of 1592 (29th year of King Seonjo of Joseon) and converted to a stone fortress during King Sukjong’s reign. According to the Eupji (local gazette), the fortress was renovated with stonework in 1716 (42nd year of King Sukjong) based on the old site, with the names and official titles of those involved in construction inscribed on the southern gate and walls. The pavilion above the south gate was restored in 1977. * Structure and construction method of Sangdang Fortress * Covering an area of 12.6 hectares with a circumference of 4,400 meters, the fortress walls are vertical stone structures built with stones of varying sizes and reinforced inwardly with soil using the inner wedging technique (Naetak Gongbeop), standing 4.7 meters tall. The fortress has three gates on the east, west, and south sides. The south gate features a semicircular arch made of musaseok stone with a wooden pavilion on top. Currently, only the stone foundation remains, with the gate measuring 3.5m in height and 4.2m in width. The east and west gates also had pavilions, built squarely with musaseok stones measuring 2.7m tall and 2.8m wide. Near the east and south gates are one each of secret gates (Ammun), and a water outlet (Sugou) was located in the southeast, though it is now a reservoir. Inside the fortress remain the sites of the East and West Command Posts (Dongjangdae and Seojangdae). Sangdang Fortress is the most representative architectural symbol of Cheongju. Its walls resemble a belt tied around Sangdang Mountain and have protected the city in times of danger. The fortress walls stretch along the ridgeline about 4.2 km with a height of 4 to 5 meters. Partial repairs were made during the Japanese invasions and the stone fortress was rebuilt with square-cut granite in 1716. The compound once contained five ponds, three temples, government buildings, and warehouses. Currently, it features three gates: Goonammun (South Gate), Mihomun (West Gate), Jindongmun (East Gate), two secret gates, three bastions (Chiseong), and three water outlets. The Dongjangdae, where Joseon soldiers trained, was restored in 1992 to recreate its original appearance. After circling the fortress and descending, visitors can enjoy a traditional hanok village within the fortress grounds, where traditional liquors and bindaetteok (mung bean pancakes) provide refreshment after the walk. ※ A cultural tourism guide is stationed here and explanatory tours are available anytime. ◎ Travel tip encountering the charm of Korean Wave - The drama featured Sangdang Fortress as the place King Injo fled during the Qing invasion; it also served as a backdrop for Namhansanseong.
