Donam Seowon, Neo-Confucian academy in Yeonsan-myeon, South Korea.
The Donam Seowon complex features multiple wooden buildings arranged around courtyards, following traditional Korean architectural principles with curved roofs and open halls.
Established in the late 16th century during the Joseon Dynasty, this educational institution supported the systematic study of Confucian texts and philosophical teachings.
Students at Donam Seowon followed strict daily schedules of reading, meditation, and discussions, maintaining the fundamental practices of Korean Neo-Confucian education.
The academy opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available in Korean and English explaining the functions of different buildings and spaces.
Unlike other seowon, Donam maintains its original memorial tablets and ceremonial implements used for honoring distinguished Confucian scholars of the region.
