Byeongsan-seowon is located in Byeongsan-dong, Pungcheon-myeon, Andong-shi, Gyeongsangbuk-do. It's about five kilometers east of Hahoe village, and situated right next to the Nakdong River. This Confucian academy memorializes Yu Seong-nyong (유성룡)(1542-1607), a disciple of Yi Hwang. It was one of the 67 seowons not destroyed in 1868 during the government's anti-Confucian purges. It was established on that site in 1572 by the aforementioned Yu, previously existing as Pungak Seodang in Pungsan-myeon, though most of the buildings were constructed after Yu's death by his students.
The nearby Mandaeru Pavilion looks out over the Nakdong River and the hills beyond.
[edit] Transportation
Bus No. 46 leaves Andong a couple times daily and goes to the seowon. Or, walk to Hahoe and take a bus from there. (That bus runs more frequently though there's still not a lot of them.) Nearest train station is at Andong.
