It is located in the heart of the city. It's a 14-minute walk to the subway station. There bus stations, traditional cafe and restaurants nearby. Old Guamseowon also offers cultural activities for the visitors. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. I had a nice sleep :) I enjoyed playing traditional Korean games. GuamSeowon Hanok Guesthouse is a place of relaxation, culture, tradition and history! Here's a historical fact which you will see in front of the Old Guamseowon: Guamseowon was established as the family Confucian Academy of the Dalseong Seo Clan. Initially, a shrine called, Sunghyeonsa, was built in 1665 (the 6th year of the reign of King Hyeonjong of the Joseon Dynasty) on Yeongusan Mountain near Daegu Elementary School to honour the memory of Seo Chim, who as a renowned civil official of the early Joeseon Period. In 1718 (the 44th year of King Sukhon's reign), the shrine was moved to Dongsan-dong, and three more scholars, Seo Geo-jeong, Seo Seong, and Seo Hae, were additionally enshrined in this shrine. The shrine was promoted to its status as being made a Confucian Academy in 1778 (the 2nd year of King Jeongjo's reign), and other buildings including Gyeongnyejae and Nuhakjae were built in 1788. In 1868, the Confucian Academy was demolished under the command of Prince Regent Heungseon, but it was restored in 1924 with the support of local Confucian scholars. Sunghyeonsa Shrine and the lecture hall were rebuilt in 1943. However, members of the Dalseong Seo Clan decided to move Guamseowon because the nearby area went through rapid urbanization and was regarded as an improper site for a Confucian Academy. Therefore, Guamseowon was relocated to the vicinity of Yeonam Park in Sangyeok-dong, Buk-gu in 1996. Only Sunghyeonsa Shrine (Daegu Cultural Heritage Material No. 2), a memorial stone, and a monument house were moved to the current location, but the entrance named Gyeongangmun, a lecture hall, and Jesucheong (a building for preparing ritual food) remained at the former site of the Confucian Academy. …
