A historic fortress site on a low hill in Baeksan-myeon, closely associated with the Donghak Peasant Revolution of 1894. Peasant forces gathered here before advancing toward Jeonju. Although few visible remains of the original fortress survive, the site is important for understanding Korea's late Joseon history and the struggle for social reform. The hill also offers views over the surrounding plains.
