Kuksadang Shrine

  • Home
  • South Korea
  • Seoul

Nestled on Mount Inwang, Seoul's Kuksadang Shrine is a mythical bastion of Korean Shamanic tradition, witnessing centuries of exorcisms and venerating twelve deities, including mountain spirits, the dragon king, and more. Founded in 1395 for offerings to Mongmyeok the Great, it moved to Mount Inwangsan in 1925 due to Japanese influence. The shrine houses portraits of shamanistic gods, including Master Monk Muhak and King Taejo. A paramount hub for Shamanism, visitors may witness spiritual ceremonies called 'gut' here, invoking blessings and healing, performed by female shamans (mudang). Kuksadang's history and significance make it a spiritual gem in the heart of Seoul, hidden amidst the urban landscape.
