Piram Seowon, Neo-Confucian academy in Hwangnyong-myeon, South Korea.
Piram Seowon features traditional Joseon architecture with a two-story front gate, lecture halls, and dormitory buildings arranged within natural surroundings.
Established in 1590 to honor scholar Kim In-hu, the academy underwent reconstruction in 1624 following destruction during Japanese invasions.
The academy maintains semi-annual ceremonies at its shrine, which houses the spirit tablet of Kim In-hu and preserves documents from the Joseon period.
Located in Jangseong County of South Jeolla Province, the site provides educational programs about Neo-Confucian teachings and Korean scholarly traditions.
The Gyeongjang-gak hall displays a bamboo painting given to Kim In-hu by King Injong as recognition for his mentorship.
