This seowon venerates seven figures: Zhu Xi at the center, along with Lü Daqian, Zhu Zhan, Yi Hwang, Yi I, Kim Chunglim, and Kim Jungjeong. It was first built in 1924 as a clan shrine of the Gwangsan Kim family, called 'Jucheonso.' In 1975 it was elevated to seowon status with accreditation from the head of Sungkyunkwan. The seowon consists of a red arrow gate, outer three-gate, and main shrine. The shrine is a three-bay-wide, one-and-a-half-bay-deep building with a gabled roof. Rites are held every year on the 15th day of the 9th lunar month.
