Choanji Temple

Jangansa Temple on Bulgwangsan, 659 meters above sea level, was founded by the great monk Wonhyo in the 13th year of the reign of King Munmu of Silla (673) and was called Ssanggyesa Temple. It is said that the temple was renamed Jangansa Temple during the reign of King Esan of Silla (809).

During the Imjin War (1592), the entire temple was burned down, but in 1631, during the 8th year of the reign of King Injo of the Joseon Dynasty, it was rebuilt by Monk Woljo, and was reconstructed again in 1987.

The grounds of Choansa Temple include the Daeungjeon Hall, Myeongbujeon Hall, Eungjinjeon Hall, and Sanshinpa Pavilion, and it was designated as a traditional temple in 1988. When you pass through the Heavenly Kings Gate with its Four Heavenly Kings elephants, you will see the Daeungjeon Hall in front of you, where the Shaka Nyorai Triad, the Later Buddha painting, and the Shinjung Buddha painting are enshrined, and on the left is Eungjinjeon Hall, and on the right is Myeongbujeon Hall.
