In the 15th year of King Seongjong (1484), Wolsan-gun, who gave up his throne to his brother, built a pavilion and named it Mangwonjeong.

Located at 457-1, Hapjeong-dong, Mapo-gu, Mangwonjeong was built in the 7th year of King Sejong (1425). This pavilion was the cottage of Hyoryung-gun, the second son of Taejong. It was originally called Huiujeong. The origin of the name is as follows. After building the pavilion, King Sejong went to Mohwagwan(recepting building for envoys) and took a look at the farming situation of the people there. They were worried because it had not rained for a long time. Finally, rain came down. So King Sejong named the pavilion Huiujeong, meaning ‘a pavilion where a nice rain comes down.

After that, in 1484, Wolsan-gun, who conceded the throne to his younger brother, renovated the pavilion and named it Mangwonjeong. From this pavilion, Sanyu Peak rises to the south across the river, and in the north there is a Yeonheebul(Yeonhee plain)spreading straight, making the scenery very beautiful. King Sejong often visited the pavilion to watch military exercises that were held in Yeonheebul and invited envoys from the Ming dynasty to enjoy the scenery. It was restored in 1989 by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and designated and managed as the Seoul Metropolitan Monument No. 9, which was lost in the flood of 1925, and the Han River development project.

This is a sacred place where the spirit of Korean Catholic martyrs, who sacrificed their lives, is alive. Yanghwajin is also famous for its beautiful scenic spot with Jamdubong, where many people of taste and writers alike enjoyed the twin pursuits of poetry and boating.

In 1866, after the proclamation of the Catholic repression, nine of the twelve French missionaries in the land were killed in the months leading up to the eventual death of more than 8,000 Catholics. Meanwhile, the government was looking for the three outstanding French priests who were still unaccounted for. This circumstance led women and children to flee to the mountains where many succumbed to disease and famine. Priest Félix-Clair Ridel, who succeeded in his escape, got word of the repression to Pierre-Gustave Roze, a French admiral. French warships then entered the Yanghwajin and Sogang areas of the Han River to oppose the repression. Daewongun, who was furious about the situation, beheaded a number of Catholics at Jamdubong, giving the mountain the name Jeoldusan, which is a Korean term meaning, ‘to cut the head.’ The Catholic Church of Korea opened a Martyr's Memorial Hall in October 1967 in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the martyrdom of the Byungin year, 1866.At present, there are archives related to the Catholic Church in Korea, an exhibit hall housing 28 bodies of saints, a pilgrimage hall, a martyr education hall, and an outdoor exhibition hall in the shrine. Jeoldusan Martyrs' Shrine is a meaningful sacred place where the spirit of the Korean Catholic martyrs, who proved their faith by giving their lives, is still alive.
