Jeondeungsa Temple is located in Samnangseong Fortress, which is said to have been built in 381 by the three sons of Dangun, the founder of Korea. The temple was originally called Jinjongsa Temple, but changed to the current Jeondeungsa Temple during the Goryeo period.
Jeondeungsa Temple contains significant architectural works. Decorated with delicate carvings, the temple buildings are superlative examples of the architecture of the mid-Joseon dynasty. Visitors can see names of soldiers written on the walls and columns of Daeungjeon Hall. These soldiers fought against the French Navy and wrote their names in Jeondeungsa to pray to Buddha for good luck in war.

Gapgotdon Watchtower was built to protect the Ganghwa Straits from invasion when the Goryeo Kingdom moved their capital to Ganghwado Island. The fortified area served as a highly strategic location for the Goryeo Kingdom, and had endured multiple invasions by the Mongolian troops between 1232 and 1270.
The watchtower was fortified in the Joseon dynasty by King Sukjong in 1679 and had once fallen during the French campaign against Korea in 1866. In 1977, the site was restored to its original form. The cannons exhibited at the current site were made during the Joseon dynasty to attack outside invaders from sea.
