[Chungcheongnam-do] Chilgapsan Jangseung Park (칠갑산 장승공원)

Hello! Here is the detailed information for ‘Chilgapsan Jangseung Park (칠갑산 장승공원)’.

💡 Overview

Jangseung Park on Chilgapsan Mountain is the largest preservation area for “jangseungs,” the ancient wooden or stone totem poles that were usually placed at the village entrance to ward off evil spirits. It was established in May 1999 to counter the dwindling awareness of the artifacts, and houses some of Korea’s tallest jangseungs (11.5 m) as well as replicas of indigenous totem poles from across the world. Today, it continues to host the Annual Chilgapsan Mountain Jangseung Festival, and serves as an important site of Korean history learning.
