Shibata Shrine
福井市中央１丁目２１−１７
This shrine enshrines Shibata Katsuie, a prominent Sengoku-period warlord, as its main deity, with his wife Oichi enshrined alongside him. The shrine grounds have been developed as Kitanojo Castle Ruins Park, featuring a bronze statue of Katsuie and the reconstructed Kujuhashi Bridge.
History
The shrine was founded in 1890 (Meiji 23) by Matsudaira Haruyama, the former lord of the Fukui Domain, and others, on the site of a small shrine located at the ruins of the Honmaru (central bailey) of Kitanojo Castle. Since then, the shrine buildings have been rebuilt by local parishioners each time they were destroyed by major fires, wartime bombing, or the Fukui earthquake. In 1998 (Heisei 10), the aging shrine buildings and subsidiary shrines were replaced, and a new shrine dedicated to the Three Sisters was established.
