[Gyeonggi-do] Suwonhyanggyo Confucian School (수원향교)

Hello! Here is the detailed information for ‘Suwonhyanggyo Confucian School (수원향교)’.

💡 Overview

Suwonhyanggyo Confucian School was built in 1291 in front of Hwasan Mountain in Hwaseong where it stayed for nearly 500 years. It was moved to its current location in 1789 with the construction of Hwaseong Fortress. During the move, some of the original wood was exposed to water and began to rot.
