Dongsanseodang (Gyeongsan)

Dongsanseodang was first established in 1814 as Dongsansa Shrine to commemorate Jeong Yeon, a civil official of the late Goryeo period. It was demolished during the Seowon Abolition Decree, and in 1938, descendants relocated and rebuilt it at its current site as Dongsanseodang. In 1988, the ancestral shrine Sangnyesa was built. The main buildings of Dongsanseodang are the seodang (lecture hall) and the ancestral shrine Sangnyesa. Passing through the main gate, the seodang is located facing east. The seodang is a hipped-and-gable-roofed building with a single eaves, measuring 4 kan in front and 1.5 kan on the sides. It is built on a low base finished with cement mortar, with foundation stones and pillars erected. Only the front pillars are round. The floor plan consists of a central wooden floor hall, with a 2-kan ondol room on the left and a 1-kan ondol room on the right. A half-kan veranda is installed at the front, and narrow wooden porches surround the other three sides. The roof frame is a 5-ryang structure, with a tall ridge support post placed on the crossbeam to support the ridge beam and side purlins.
