Daeseongjeon is a shrine housing the spirit tablets of Confucian sages and men of virtue. This shrine once enshrined 143 spirit tablets, but currently enshrines 25 spirit tablets for Confucian sages, including Confucius, his disciples, and eighteen eminent Confucian scholars of Korea.
The building was burnt down during the Japanese Invasions (1592-1598) and was reconstructed in 1602. It was repaired again in 1998.
