Jangansa Temple

Jangansa Temple

Jangansa Temple in Bulgwangsan Mountain, 659 meters above sea level, was founded in the 13th year of King Munmu of Silla (673) and was called Ssanggyesa Temple, but it is said to have been renamed Jangansa Temple during King Aejang of Silla (809).

During the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, all the mountain temples were destroyed, and in 1631, it was rebuilt by Great Master Woljo in the 8th year of King Injo of the Joseon Dynasty, and in 1987, it was rebuilt again.
