Koryo Songgyungwan University

The university extends across 2.9 hectares of land, featuring traditional Korean architectural elements within its educational buildings and ceremonial spaces.

Founded during the Goryeo Dynasty as a Confucian academy, the institution experienced destruction in 1592 and underwent reconstruction efforts from 1602 to 1611.

Students at the university study Confucian classics, traditional Korean literature, and philosophical texts that shaped Korean intellectual development through centuries.

The institution maintains specific visiting hours and requires advance arrangements through authorized tour operators for international visitors to access the grounds.

This educational facility stands as the sole remaining Goryeo Dynasty academic institution, preserving original teaching methods from the 10th century.
