Owner : Najuhyanggo Confucian School Scale : 정면 5칸, 측면 4칸, 단층팔작지붕 Number : Treasure No. 394 Era : Koryo - Chosun Dynasty Designated date : 31103 “Najuhyanggyo Confucian School was established in 1407 (7th year of King Taejong’s reign) to hold rites and serve as an education institution. Since the implementation of the modern school system, it has only been fulfilling the function of hosting rites. The Daeseongjeon Hall of Najuhyanggyo Confucian School has 5 kans (measurement unit) on the front side and 4 kans on the sides, and it has a gambrel roof, which looks like the Chinese character, “八 (eight),” from the side. Brackets with orthogonal projections support the eaves from the top of the pillars, while there are flower-shaped supports between the pillars to support the members above. There is maru (Korean-style floor) inside the building, and the ceiling is in the lotus lantern ceiling style, with the framework revealed. The layout and construction techniques employed demonstrate the typical architectural style of the Daeseongjeon Hall of Confucian schools dating from the mid-Joseon Dynasty. The Daeseongjeon Hall of Najuhyanggyo Confucian School is considered an important cultural asset as it is one of the largest Daeseongjeon halls, along with those of Munmyo in Seoul, Gangneunghyanggyo, and Jangsuhyanggyo. For this reason, it has been designated as Treasure No. 394.”
