Seonjukkyo Bridge
Made by Baron Reznik
A stone bridge that is 2.54m wide and 6.67m long, and supposedly over 1,000 years old. It is here that Jeong Mong-ju was murdered in 1392 by 5 men following a party held for him by his political rival, Yi Seongyye. Jeong's death brought the end of the Goryeo Dynasty which was followed by the Joseon Dynasty. The bridge is therefore of great historical significance and one of the most sacred places in Korean history.
