Donamseowon Confucian Academy [UNESCO World Heritage] (돈암서원 [유네스코 세계문화유산])

Explanation

Donamseowon Confucian Academy was built in 1634, originally 1.5 kilometers away from its current location. It received a royal charter in 1660 and relocated to its current location in 1880 due to flooding problems. The academy's main gate, Ipdeokmun Gate, is made up of three entrance doors. Once inside, Yangseongdang Hall can be seen facing the main gate, with Eungdodang Hall to the left. Ancestral rites take place every February and August at Jungjeong Hall. Inside the academy is a shrine that houses the ancestral tablets of four prominent scholars who taught at this institution - Kim Jang-saeng, Kim jip, Song Jun-gil, and Song Si-yeol. Among the academies that served Kim Jang-saeng and his teachings, Donamseowon is considered the most important and influencial.
