Jeonju Hyanggyo

The Jeonju Hyanggyo is a hyanggyo originally established at the Gyeonggijeon Shrine site in Jeonju, Korea, sometime early in the 15th century, during the Joseon Dynasty. Gyeonggijeon Shrine was erected in 1410, so construction of the Jeonju Hyanggyo had to follow sometime later.

At the time of the Second Japanese Invasion in 1592 the Gyeonggijeon Shrine and the Jeonju Hyanggyo were completely destroyed. In 1603 the hyanggyo was moved to and rebuilt at its present Jeonju location.

Unlike the more typical hyanggyo Jeonhakhumyo style described above at the Goheung Hyanggyo, the Jeonju Hyanggyo employees the less conventional style of being placed on level ground.
