Donggok Confucian Academy was established during the reign of King Cheoljong of Joseon to enshrine and commemorate Jo Sin, who served as governor of Hoeyang during the Goryeo period. Jo Sin is also known as a childhood teacher of Yi Bang-won (later King Taejong) and mentored scholars such as Park Paeng-nyeon and Yu Seong-won. The academy was demolished in 1868 by the regent Heungseon Daewongun's edict.
