Oksan Seowon, Neo-Confucian academy in Angang-eup, South Korea.
The educational complex consists of 14 traditional wooden structures arranged around courtyards near a mountain stream at the base of hills.
Established in 1572 by Yi Je-min and local scholars, Oksan Seowon honored Yi Eon-jeok, a distinguished 16th-century Confucian intellectual and politician.
The academy maintains traditional Confucian educational practices through lectures, ceremonies, and study sessions focused on classical Chinese texts and Korean philosophy.
Located at coordinates 36.011944, 129.163611, the site spans 6.44 hectares and offers guided tours explaining the functions of different buildings.
The Sesimdae terrace features flat rocks positioned next to waterfalls, creating a natural study environment that follows Korean feng shui principles.
