Stone Ice Storage of Haengjuoe-dong, Deogyang-gu, Goyang
River that represents Goyang, Han River. Before it was called Haengho River, Dae River, or Haengju River.
Sir Gyeomjae Jeongseon, the master painter of beautiful nature of Joseon Dynasty, painted the Haengju area with Haengju Mountain Fortress in a patinting called Haenghogwanuhdo.
This is where the low and high tides of the west sea intersect and the river flow changes twice a day.
For this reason, this place is where many fish such as anchovy and mullet that represent our country, were caught.
Especially, it is a place where we have concentrated on catching the famous special product of Goyang area, Korean anchovy.
Anchovy is a sea fish that swims against the Han river current from April to June to lay eggs near the Haengju Mountain Fortress.
Rice planting season is the season when the anchovies are caught the most.
The stone ice storage under the Haengju Catholic Church was the store the anchovies caught during this season.
It was to store them in ice and send to the king in a fresh state. It is fascinating that there was a stone ice storage in Goyang city to keep fish fresh.
