A typhoon-created mecca for life shots, Geoje ✨Maemi Castle✨ A tourist attraction created by one person's persistence
#Domestic Travel
Maemi Castle is a unique tourist attraction located at the end of Mongdol Beach in Bokhang Village, Jangmok-myeon, Geoje-si, Gyeongnam Province. This castle, built by Baek Soon-sam, who lost his farmland to Typhoon Maemi in 2003, over 17 years, has become a place symbolizing the will of humans to overcome natural disasters.
Originally started as a project to prevent typhoons, this project has taken on an artistic form over time. Built with 20,000 bricks and granite, Maemi Castle has now become a representative photo spot on Geoje Island. In particular, the view of the deep blue sea and coastal village from the dark passage inside the castle has become a ‘life shot’ for many visitors.
The popularity of Maemi Castle has spread rapidly through social media. With over 78,000 posts on Instagram using the hashtag ‘#Maemi Castle’, this place has become a must-visit place for travelers.👍 From the top of the castle, you can see Mongdol Beach and even Geoga Bridge in the distance, so you can take beautiful pictures from various angles.
Mr. Baek Soon-sam still visits Maemi Castle every weekend to continue maintenance work. He does not charge an admission fee and opens it for free, and he strives for the safety and enjoyment of visitors. Maemi Castle is more than just a tourist attraction; it is a special space created by human will and creativity against the power of nature, capturing the hearts of many.
