The Rodoni Castle or Skanderbeg Castle (Albanian: Kalaja e Rodonit; Kalaja e Skënderbeut) is a castle in Albania. After the victorious First Siege of Krujë the League of Lezhë decided to increase the fortifications for use against the Ottoman Empire. Skanderbeg chose the cape of Rodon as the location of the castle and construction began in 1450. The walls of the castle that was completed in approximately 1452 had a length of 400 metres (1,300 ft). When the Second Siege of Krujë started in 1466 Skanderbeg retreated to Rodoni Castle from where he and his family, together with many people from Albania, were transported to Brindisi in 14 ships. According to Marin Barleti this castle was destroyed by Ottoman forces in 1467. In 1500 the castle was rebuilt by the Republic of Venice. As a result of the corrosive action of the sea waves, some of the walls are now under the waters of the Adriatic. Today the visitors can see the outer walls on the right side and the tower at the place they intersect.

This is a historic site of Hwang Hui (1363-1452), a renowned minister of the early Joseon period and a model cleanhanded government. Hwang Hui was born in Gaesong to Hwang Gun-seo, his father, who served in high civil office, and was also known by the pen name, Bangchon. He served as a government official for the Goryeo dynasty and retired when Goryeo collapsed. Upon request from the newly founded Joseon Dynasty, he again assumed high civil offices. For 18 years, Hwang Hui assisted King Sejong in state administration and rendered distinguished services in establishing the new culture and institutions. He was posthumously named Ikseong when he passed away in 1452 at the age of 90. This historic site includes the shrine dedicated to Hwang Hui by his descendants in 1455 and Bangujeong Pavilion, where Hwang Hui spent his retirement. The original shrine was burned down during the Korean War, and the shrine housing a portrait of Hwang Hui we see today was built in 1962 by his descendants. The site is atop a picturesque cliff that commands a view of the Imjingang River (Imjin River) below. The pavilion was named Bangujeong, which means 'pavilion making friends with seagulls', because seagulls have flocked here since ancient times. Bangujeong houses tablets recording the history of repair and restoration of the pavilion.
