'''Ssangchungsa''' is a shrine in Doyang (known also as Nokdong by many) on the southwestern most point of the peninsula that comprises [[Goheung]] County South Korea. The shrine commemorates and is dedicated to the memories of two [[Joseon Dynasty]] era naval officer war heroes.

Lee Dae Won (1566 - 1587) died in a naval operation defending against the Japanese pirates raiding the southern Korean coastal waters around Sonjukdo Island.

Jeong Un (1543-1592) died defending against the Japanese invasion known as the [[Japanese invasions of Korea (1592–1598)|Imjin Waeran]] in 1592.

The original shrine dedicated to Lee Dae Won was constructed in 1587 on Nokdo Island but was destroyed during the [[Japanese invasions of Korea (1592–1598)|Imjin Waeran]]. The shrine was subsequently rebuilt and rededicated to both Lee Dae Won and Jeong Un.

Ssangchungsa's main worship hall we see today was constructed in 1946 with the lecture hall being added in 1957. The four structures on the grounds presently were renovated and expanded in 1969-1970. A memorial worship service is held here every April.
