조선시대 ‘광해군’ 집권 시기에 ‘영의종'(지금의 국무총리)을 역임했고, ‘징비록’을 서술한 ‘류승용’ 선생이 서당으로 활용했던 안동 병산서원 만대루의 모습입니다. 평화로운 정경 속, 지저귀는 새소리가 정경습니다. 병산서원은 유네스코가 지정한 문화유산 중 하나 입니다.

The Byeongsan Seowon is located in Byeongsa-ri village of the Pungcheon-myeon township in the city of Andong, North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea.

Seowon is a type of local academy during the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1897). There are a total of 648 Seowon in South Korea as of the year 2021.

The history of Byeongsan Seowon began when Ryu Seong-ryong moved to Andong in 1572 from Pungak Seodang, a Confucian school established during the Goryeo period. After Ryu Seong-ryong died in 1607, local Confucianists founded Jondeok Temple in 1613 to commemorate his academic work and virtues. The temple was renamed ‘Byeongsan Seowon’ in 1614.
