Namhae Chungnyeolsa Shrine
남해 충렬사
A shrine on the shore of the Noryang Strait honoring Admiral Yi Sun-sin, where his remains were briefly kept after his death. It is a designated national historic site.
During the 1598 Battle of Noryang, Admiral Yi Sun-sin was struck by a bullet and died. His remains were temporarily kept here before being moved to Asan. A shrine was built here in 1633 to honor him, and it is now a Korean historic site. Behind the shrine, his 'false grave' has been preserved. The shrine sits at the south end of Namhae Bridge and overlooks the Noryang Strait, and a reconstructed turtle ship model is moored nearby. Admission is free, and it is open roughly 09:00–18:00. It can be visited together with Namhae Bridge.
