Bangsanseowon Confucian Academy (Gurye)

Bangsanseowon Confucian Academy was built in the 28th year of King Sukjong's reign (1702) to honor Chugye Yun Hyo-son (1431–1503), a civil official of King Seongjong's era during the Joseon Dynasty. Yun Hyo-son compiled the Gyeongguk Daejeon, Orye Uiju, and Seongjong Sillok, and held positions such as Gyeongsang-do Gwanchalsa, Hanseong-buyun, Daesaheon, Seonggyungwan Dongjisa, and Jwa-U Chamchan.
Around 1740, Byeoksong Yun Wi, the founder of the village of Jungbang-ri in Gurye-gun, was additionally enshrined and placed at the main altar, and later Choe Yeon, Yi Gyeong-seok, and Choe Eon-su were additionally enshrined, with five tablets honored.
Within the academy grounds there are buildings such as the shrine (Modeoksa), Dongjae, Seojae, the outer three gates (Gyeongangmun), and the inner three gates (Geoimmun). On the hill behind the shrine stands a zelkova tree designated as a protected tree.
