INTRODUCE

Gratitude and respect for Admiral Gim Eungha’s allegiance

 

向忠武公金应河将军的忠节表示感谢与尊敬


 
Pochungsa Temple is a shrine for Admiral Gim Eungha. He went to war with about 3,000 troops, fought against more than 60,000 Jurchen soldiers, and died in battle at the age of 40. Thus, the shrine was established in the seventh year of King Hyeonjong of the Joseon Dynasty(1666). The shrine in honor of his loyalty and distinguished military service was named Pochungsa. Originally, Pochungsa Temple was located in Yeokchon-dong, Hwajeong-ri, Cheorwon-eup. However, it was destroyed due to the Korean War and belonged to the military control area, so it was rebuilt in its current location in 1990. The monumentof Admiral Gim Eungha in Pochungsa Temple was built in the ninth year of King Sukjong(1683). There is the granitic monument engraved with his biography and achievements as well as the writing of Song Siyeol, who was the first vicepremier, handwriting of Park Taeung who Saheonbujipyeong, and Jeonseojaeja of Kim Suhang who was a prime minister of the Joseon Dynasty.

 

褒忠祠是供奉忠武公金应河将军的祠堂。金应河将军是光海君11年(1619年)为了镇压女真族出征,以3,000多名兵力与6万敌军交战,年仅40岁壮烈战死。由此,显宗7年(1666年)为了纪念他的武勋与忠节,建立了祠堂,并下赐‘褒忠祠’之名。本来,褒忠祠所在的地方是铁原邑花田里驿村洞。但是因6.25战争当时,祠堂遭到破坏,此后属于军事限制区域,为此1990年在现在的位置重新建立。褒忠祠境内的金应河将军庙庭碑是肃宗9年(1683年)所立的纪念碑。在使用花岗岩石材的石碑,刻着金应河将军的一生与功绩,是以当时左议政宋时烈的文章与司宪府持平朴泰雄的字体、领议政金寿恒的篆书题字制作。
