Built in the early 1600s, the shrine has been used for centuries as a gathering place for the disperate members of the Hamyang Bak clan to pay homage each year to their founding ancestor and to conduct sacrificial rites.
According to GPS readings taken by the author, the site sits at 36 42.82898 N, 128 23.44009 E (WGS84 map datum). Address: 경북 예천군 용문면 원유리 105.
