Hapcheon Okgyeseowon Confucian Academy (옥계서원(합천))

Introduction

Hapcheon Okgyeseowon Confucian Academy was built to store Yulgok Yi I's writings, "Gyeokmongyogyeol" and "Haedongyeonwonnok." Okgyeseowon was originally founded approximately 4 kilometers away from Hyangok-dong on the third year of Yeongjo's reign (1725) before it was closed due to the seowon abolishment policy by Heungseon Daewongun. On the sixth year of King Gojong’s reign, it was re-built about 200 meters away from the east side of the village. The academy is composed of a lecture hall, Sowonsa, Naesammun, Oesammun, Gwallisa and more.
