    Jeoldusan Martyrs' Shrine is a holy place for Korean Catholics history. It was about 8,000 Korean Catholics were executed in this location for their faith in 1866 who were beheaded and their bodies thrown into the nearly Han river. 29 of these Catholics have been canonized(declared) as saints and these martyrs have been enshrined in the basement-crypt below the chapel.

    (Translated by Google) It is a beautiful place called "Jukdobong" because it is the topography of the Han River with the head of the silkworm. In 1866, after the Heungseun Daewonun, who was the late Joseon Dynasty, persecuted Catholicism and executed Catholic believers. Numerous believers have been martyred here, but it is the 29th in the record. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the persecution of the sick, we built a martyr's cathedral and a museum in 1967. The martyr's cathedral is home to the remains of the 27th-ranked adult and the unknown martyr who are among the 103 Catholic adults in Korea. (Original) 한강변에 누에의 머리와 같이 나온 지형이라서 잠두봉이라 불리던 아름다운 장소인 이곳은 조선시대 후기인 1866년 흥선 대원군이 가톨릭을 박해하면서 이곳에서 천주교 신자들을 처형하면서 절두산이라는 이름이 붙었습니다. 수많은 신자들이 이곳에서 순교하였으나 기록에 남아있는 분은 29위입니다. 병인박해 100주년을 맞아 1967년 순교자성당과 박물관을 건립하였습니다. 이곳 순교자 성당에는 우리나라 가톨릭 103위 성인 중 유해가 남아있는 27위 성인과 무명 순교자 1위의 유해가 모셔져 있습니다.

    One of the Sacred place in South Korea to visit as a Catholic. Thousands of martyrs were killed here for their faith. Visit the museum within the grounds for a complete history of the place.

    A quiet park. It's a catholic shrine so the atmosphere is religious. Nevertheless it's good to walk around and clear your head. I went there on weekdays afternoon so there aren't much people. Most visitors are adult to elders.

    (Translated by Google) There is a museum where you can see the history of Catholicism in Korea at a glance. Many pilgrims are seated at the place where Rosario prayer is needed. The bathroom is in the basement near the outdoor statue of Our Lady! (Original) 한국 천주교의 역사를 한 눈에 볼 수 있는 박물관이 있지요. 로사리오 기도가 필요한 곳으로 많은 순례자분들이 좌정하고 계심. 화장실은 야외 성모상 근처 지하!

    Catholic martyr museum in Yanghwajin, Seoul. Located near from Hapjeong station. Korean name Jeoldusan means 'beheaded mountain'. Many catholic believer of 19th century had been dead in this place. Especially bishop, priests of Paris mission society had been beheaded after the war between France and Korea.

    It always calms me down when I come here. Lovely views of the river. My father's ashes are kept there so I come here often. Management is good.

    If you're on the Hongdae/Hapjeong area and have a bit of time to kill before meeting friends, then you may like to come by here and take a look around. There's not a whole lot to see, but it does offer a nice change of pace from the relative hustle and bustle of the surrounding area.

    (Translated by Google) The parking facility is good, but if you walk for about 10 minutes on foot from Exit 7 of Hapjeong Station on Lines 2 and 6 (there is also a bus stop), you will see stairs at the entrance to the Seongji. The Han River is right below, so the scenery is good. The museum is also open until 5pm (free), so we recommend taking time for a quiet walk by yourself. (Original) 주차시설도 좋지만 2호선,6호선합정역 7번출구에서 도보 10분정도 걸어가면 ( 버스정류장도 있습니다) 성지입구에 계단이 보입니다. 한강이 바로 아래에 있어 풍경도 좋으며 박물관도 오후5시까지 공개하여 (무료) 시간을 내어 혼자 조용히 산책하시길 추천합니다.

    45 years ago I was baptized here as a boy. Our family left the country and now I visit my mother country and the neighborhood that I lived in during my youth. The neighborhood is unrecognizable but Jeoldusan hasn't changed.
