Maemiseong stands beside the sea in Jangmok-myeon, Geoje. Rectangular stones, stacked and filled with cement, form walls with the appearance of a European castle.
You can explore the walls with your dog and take photographs against the stonework and sea. It suits a Geoje outing focused on coastal scenery and unusual architecture.

A wall built by one man after Typhoon Maemi
After losing farmland to Typhoon Maemi in 2003, Baek Sun-sam began building the wall to protect his crops. He developed it over many years without architectural plans. Despite its castle-like appearance, this coastal structure dates from after the storm.
Lighting adds an evening view of the walls and entrance
Lighting was installed on the main structure and surrounding walls in December 2024. In July 2026, the entrance gained security lights and projections of constellations and the Milky Way onto the path. When the lights are on, these patterns lead from the entrance towards the illuminated stonework.
