The shrine was constructed before 1693 (19th year of King Sukjong's reign), and in 1786 (10th year of King Jeongjo's reign), the existing structures were rebuilt.
During the reigns of King Jeongjo and Sunjo, courtiers performed ancestral rites on behalf of the king, and King Yeongjo personally bestowed the Seokgwangsa signboard.
A small kiln known as a yoyeo, which was used when transporting spirit tablets, still resides within the shrine, and there is an old nurse tree standing next to the shrine.
