Samseonggung is a shrine, built in 1983, established for paying homage to the three mythical creators of Korea: Hwanin - Lord of Heaven, Hwanung - Hwanin's son who descended to the peak of a sacred mountain long ago to bring civilized government and thus "benefit humanity" and Dangun - Hwanung's son, half-human and half-divine, who founded the first Korean Kingdom and ruled as Shaman-king.
