The Cheonggye Seowon (private Confucian school) was built on the site of Cheonggyejeongsa in 1907 to enshrine the memorial tablet for Gim Il-Son. Gim Il-Son was a famous Confucian scholar under the reign of King Seongjong of Joseon (1469 to 1494). He served in several government positions, and was killed during the Muosahwa (Muo Massacre of Scholars, or First Literati Purge of 1498) under the reign of King Yeonsangun of Joseon (1494–1506). Since he studied in Cheonggyejeongsa for a while, the Confucian scholars decided to set up the private school here in his honor. The lecture hall has four compartments in front and three on the side with a hip-and-gable roof. Behind the hall, high above, is the shrine Cheonggyesa. Other buildings include Gugyeongjae and Yeokgajae. There is also a monument for Gim Il-Son and a square pond at the seowon.
Cheonggye Seowon is Gyeongsangnam-do Cultural Material #56.
