On 「Bukhan-Gi (Bukhan Map)」 written by Monk Sungneung in 1745 (21th year of King Yongjo), it was recorded that ‘Sanyoung Castle is now gone’. In 1761 (37th year of King Yongjo), the record of Sanyoung Castle appears again in 「Gi-Yoo-Bukhan (travel essay at Bukhansan Mountain)」 written by Duk-Moo Lee.
