Gyeseongseowon Confucian Academy

Gyeseong Seowon is a seowon (Confucian academy) located in Gyeseong-ri, Yeonggwang-gun, Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City. In 1966, on the initiative of local Confucian scholars, a shrine was founded at the current site to honor the integrity and loyalty of Jeong Gan of Hadong and Jeong Ryeson of Misan, and it was first called Do-naesa, where ancestral rites were performed; later the name was changed to Gyeseong Seowon. The rites are held on the 20th day of the 2nd and 8th lunar months. Nearby attractions include Usan Neighborhood Park, Yeonggwang Arts Center, Yeonggwang Sportium, Yeonggwang Hyanggyo, and Mulmusan.
