Abstract

Dondae was introduced to Joseon Dynasty around Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, It was first built in Ganghwado Island in the late 17th century. in the 18th century, Dondae was built in Sinnamseong, Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do, and Jangsanjin, Paju. Until now, however, the research of Dondae has been centered on Ganghwa Island. For this reason, there is a lack of research on Dondae of other province. In this paper, I reviewed the location and structural features of the Dondae based on the archaeological survey of the Dondae of the Ganghwa Island, Gwangju Sinnamseong Dondae, and Paju Jangsanjin Dondae. Ganghwa Island, Gwangju Sinnamseong, and Paju Jangsanjin Dondae have a few things in common. First, all of the Dondae is located in a high elevation area where the surrounding area is well visible. This is due to the emphasis on the Dondae function of surveillance and alarm. Second, the Dondae tends to be located in the vicinity of the surrounding defense bases. Also structurally, the Dondae of the Gyeonggi Province have low rampart walls and wide widths. This was to minimize the damages on the rampart walls by the artillery attack. Moreover, the Dondae tends to simplify the defense facilities in the castle. Because the construction of the Dondae was done in a limited space such as a mountain peak It seems that the facilities that are suitable for the purpose of Dondae Building purpose are selectively installed. Such active adoption of Dondae has much to do with the restructuring of the fortress wall system and the defense system. It can be understood as a case showing that the strongpoint defensive system is changing into a system of link defense, through connection of Base castle and Dondae. Moreover, Dondae was actively accommodated in the sense that it could have maximum defense effect at minimum cost.
