It is said to have been built by Jang Moon-jae, a student of Han River, to commemorate Jeong-gu Han, a scholar of the mid-Joseon Dynasty. The Seowon disappeared due to Daewongun's order to abolish the Seowon during the reign of King Gojong, and only the pavilion, Gwanhaejeong, remains. In front of Gwanhaejeong, there is a 440-year-old ginkgo tree that is said to have been planted by Jeong Gu himself. Every year in March and September of the lunar calendar, a memorial service is held for Jeong Gu and his student, Heo Mok.
