Suwon Hyanggyo was a hyanggyo—a government-run school and Confucian ceremonial centre during the Goryeo and Joseon periods—in Gyo-dong, Paldal-gu, Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. During the Joseon Dynasty, it was the largest and oldest state school in Gyeonggi-do.[2] The school houses memorial tablets to Confucius, Mencius, and 25 Korean figures noteworthy in Confucianism.[3]
History
Originally built in 1291 beside Hwasan in Wau-ri, Bongdam-myeon, Hwaseong-gun, Suwon Hyanggyo was moved to its current location around 1795—the 19th year of King Jeongjo of the Joseon Dynasty—when Hwaseong Fortress was built,[1] and it has since undergone several repairs.
Access and events
Hyanggyo is open to the public on weekdays from 9 a.m. till 5 p.m. It is closed on weekends.[1]
