Imgoseowon Confucian Academy (임고서원)
Imgoseowon Confucian Academy, established in 1553, was built to commemorate the esteemed Goryeo statesman Jeong Mongju. Visitors can explore Munchungsa Shrine, the sanctuary of his ancestral tablet, and Jonyeonggak Pavilion, where his portrait is displayed. Heungmundang Hall, historically used as a lecture hall, is also a significant site within the academy. Among the treasured relics, the academy holds three portraits of Jeong Mongju and a collection of over 200 books. A highlight is the Books of Imgoseowon Confucian Academy, an esteemed compilation of twenty-five volumes across ten categories, recognized as a national Treasure. Furthermore, the grounds are graced by a revered ginkgo tree, recognized as a monument, and the Stele of Jeong Mongju, each adding to the rich cultural tapestry of the site.
