Description

Geungnakjeon (Hall) is in the style of the last years of the Joseon period (1392-1910). The temple, however, dates from the Three Kingdoms period (57B.C.-A.D.668) when it was built as a branch of Songgwangsa Temple. It is said to have been burnt down during the 1597 Japanese Invasion and to have been reconstructed in 1604.

Geungnakjeon has a hipped-and-gabled roof with eaves of the roof supported by clusters of brackets. This multi-bracketing is typical of late-Joseon architecture.

Records show that the building was either repaired or rebuilt in 1846, the 12th year of the reign of Joseon's King Heonjong(1849-63).
