About

Registered as Cultural Heritage Material, Haposeowon Confucian Academy is where the spiritual tablet of An Hyang, a respected scholar during the Goryeo period, is enshrined. The academy was founded in 1716 by the scholar's descendants, who held regular memorial services until a royal order to close down most seowon institutions was made in the late Joseon dynasty. In 1949, Haposeowon Confucian Academy was rebuilt as an affiliated institution with the consent of 218 local Confucian schools nationwide.
