Dosan Seowon, Neo-Confucian academy in Andong, South Korea
Dosan Seowon features traditional wooden buildings with lecture halls, dormitories, and ceremonial spaces arranged according to Confucian architectural principles.
King Seonjo granted a royal charter to this educational institution in 1575, recognizing its role in spreading Neo-Confucian teachings throughout the Joseon Dynasty.
The academy maintains twice-yearly ceremonies to honor Yi Hwang, a distinguished scholar who established educational standards for Korean Neo-Confucian studies.
The site opens daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages to explain the architectural and educational elements.
Within the eastern garden, a square lotus pond called Jeongudang reflects Yi Hwang's dedication to creating spaces for contemplation and scholarly pursuits.
