Nongam Hermitage Shrine

This shrine, attached to Bungang Seowon, enshrines the spirit tablet and a supplementary portrait (byeolbon yeongjeong) of Nongam Yi Hyeon-bo (1467–1555), a scholar of the mid-Joseon period. It originally stood in Buncheon-dong, Dosan-myeon, but was moved to its present site in 1975 owing to the construction of the Andong Dam. Yi Hyeon-bo was a writer of sijo, one of the representative literary figures of the Joseon period celebrated for his poems on nature, and he occupies an important place in the history of Korean literature. The shrine measures three bays across the front and three bays deep, with a gable roof (matbae) whose sides form the shape of the character 人 (person).
