When all its buildings burned in the Imjin War, Son Donam, a local Confucian scholar, saved the tablets by taking them to Seonamsan Mountain. It was rebuilt in 1601 (the 34th year of Seonjo). In 1641 (the 19th year of Injo), it moved to its present site, and Daeseongjeon Hall was built. Daeseongjeon, Gwangpungnu, Samuljae, Sinmun and other buildings remain.
