Jungakdan was built when the royal family respected Gyeryong mountain as three steep mountains with Myohyangsan mountain and Jirisan mountain in the third year (2431 AD) of King Taejo's reign. The religious service for the god of Gyeryong mountain was performed every spring and autumn. The present Jungakdan was expanded in the 16th year of King Gojong's reign.
