Geumsansa Daejangjeon was rebuilt in 1635 from an octagonal wooden pagoda, and moved to the present site in 1922. It is now used as a hall to enshrine the images of Sakyamuni Buddha and his two ablest disciples, Kasyapa and Ananda.
Simple as it is in structure, this small, modified building is of great significance to the study of wooden architecture including wooden pagodas of the era. A small number of images atop the hall's roof show a vestige of the past when it was a wooden pagoda. National Treasure #827
