남강서원(함안)
Info only · no booking hereAbout
This is a seowon (Confucian academy) established to honor the memory of General Chungnyeolgong Yi Bang-sil (1298–1362), a native of Haman who served during the Goryeo Dynasty. To commemorate General Yi Bang-sil's legacy, his descendants built Namgangsa in 1842 (the 8th year of King Heonjong's reign) and held ancestral rites there every year, but it was demolished under the order to abolish seowon academies. Regretting this loss, his descendants restored it on the original site in 1944. Later, in 1998, with government subsidies, Chungnyeolsa and Namgang Seowon were rebuilt, and the general's ancestral tablet has been enshrined there to this day. Namgang Seowon consists of Chungnyeolsa, the shrine hall; a lecture hall; the east and west study halls (Gyeongmodang and Yeongdeokdang); and Sunguimun, the outer triple gate. The seowon is a single-story wooden tiled building with a hip-and-gable roof, measuring 5 kan in front and 2 kan on the sides. Behind the seowon stands Chungnyeolsa, dedicated to General Yi Bang-sil, a building with a gable roof measuring 2 kan in front and 2 kan on the sides, where a portrait of the general is preserved. Outside the seowon, there is a monument reading "Stele of the Goryeo Grand Marshal and Jungseo Pyeongjangsa Chungnyeol Yi" (고려 대원수 중서평장사 충렬 이공 유허비), and ancestral rites are held there every year on the 5th day of the 3rd lunar month.
