Pyeongcheon Seowon

Pyeongcheon Seowon, located in Saengcho-myeon, Sancheong-gun, was founded in 1694 (the 20th year of King Sukjong's reign). After its founding, it played a role in enshrining former sages and local education until it was demolished in 1868 (the 5th year of King Gojong's reign) under the Daewongun's decree abolishing seowon. The seowon enshrines three people: Bae Hyeon-gyeong (裵玄慶), Bae Sin-chim (裵愼甚), and Bae Se-gyeom (裵世謙).
As the area around this seowon was incorporated into the Daejin–Gan Expressway interchange in the 1990s, it was relocated to the foot of the hill where the tomb of Saengjibong Imdang Seonsaeng (生旨峰 林塘先生墓所) is located and restored as Pyeongcheon Seowon.
According to the Pyeongcheon Seowon gi-mun, this seowon was founded in 1788 (the 12th year of King Jeongjo) in Seomo-eum, Saneum-hyeon, by the joint decision of the local literati of ten counties, to enshrine Bae Sin-chim and Bae Se-gyeom, father and son; in 1819 (the 19th year of King Sunjo), Bae Hyeon-gyeong was additionally enshrined.
