     History
    Historically a Catholic holy site, this hill was the site where ten Korean Catholics were martyred in 1839.

    In the Japanese colonial period, this area was home to Japanese employees of the colonial railway company.

    After the Korean War, a church was built on top of the hill at the former site of a Japanese Shinto shrine, incorporating elements of the former shrine.
