Dodongseowon Confucian Academy was founded by local scholars in 1605, the 38th year of the reign of King Seonjo, in memory of Kim Goeng-pil (1454-1504, pen-name: Hanhwondang), a prominent Neo-Confucian scholar of the early Joseon Dynasty. Laid out in the typical mid-Joseon style, the academy has a shrine for Confucian sages at the back of a lecture hall. The lecture hall, shrine, and surrounding walls are collectively designated as Treasure No. 350. The entire compound, including a memorial stele and an old ginkgo tree standing in front of the academy, was recently designated as a historic site for its more effective preservation and management.
