Jecheon Hyanggyo is an educational institution built in 1389. Originally located west of Masan, it was moved to its current site, but declined due to the Imjin War (Japanese invasions of 1592–1598). Later, in 1907, the Daeseongjeon (main shrine hall) and Myeongnyundang (lecture hall) were destroyed by fire, and the Daeseongjeon was rebuilt in 1922. The buildings that remain today include the Daeseongjeon, Myeongnyundang, Dongjae (east dormitory), and Seojae (west dormitory), along with other auxiliary structures. The Daeseongjeon houses the spirit tablets of Confucius and various other sages, and was the site where ancestral rites were held, forming the core of the ritual space. The Myeongnyundang was where students studied, constituting the learning space, with the Dongjae and Seojae, the students' living quarters, located in front of it. After the Gabo Reform, its educational function ceased, and now rites are held only twice a year, in spring and autumn.
