Giyang Seowon

This description was machine-translated from the Korea Tourism Organization's Korean original.

Giyang Seowon was founded in 1701 (the 27th year of King Sukjong’s reign) in Mugiri, Chirwon-myeon, Haman-gun to enshrine and honor five people: Ju Segon, Ju Seonwon, Ju Gak, Ju Jaeseong, and Ju Dobok. Near Giyang Seowon, at the birthplace of Ju Jaeseong, a late Joseon Dynasty pond called Mugiyeondang still remains. Ju Jaeseong raised a righteous army during Yi Injwa’s Rebellion in the 4th year of King Yeongjo’s reign (1728) and suppressed the rebellion together with government forces; on their way back, the government troops praised his virtue, erected a Changui Historic Monument at the village entrance, and built a pond in the broad courtyard in front of Giyang Seodang. Within the present Mugiyeondang, centered on the pond, are Pungyongnu, Changjeonggak, Chunghyosa, and Hahwanjeong.
