Dosanseowon Confucian Academy Dosan Village School, Andong

Dosan Seodang is regarded as a building that well embodies the architectural ideal pursued by 16th-century scholars. Within its minimal scale of three bays across the front and one bay along the side, it has a simple interior layout of one bay each for a wooden-floored room, a heated ondol room and a kitchen, capturing the daily life of a scholar, while its various plain, functional window forms give the building a neat, orderly exterior. After the master's death, the seodang was left untouched and a seowon academy was built behind it, making this a rare case where the historic relics of a Confucian sage and a seowon academy survive together within a single precinct, giving it sufficient historical value.
