Buan Naesosa Temple

내소사 (부안) · Jeonbuk · Temples

Naesosa Temple was built by Buddhist Monk Hye-Gu in 633 during the Baekje dynasty and was rebuilt by Monk Cheong-Min in 1633 during the Joseon dynasty. The Daeungbojeon Hall was built at this time. In 1986, the temple area was designated as a culturally protected area. · · On both sides of the main gate are large fir trees, which also line the path into the temple. Upon reaching the temple itself, the first thing that draws attention is the 1000-year-old Dangsan tree. Long ago, people used the base of the tree as a site of prayer. · · Housed in Beomjonggak is a bronze bell that can be found in many Buddhist temples. This particular bell was made during the Goryeo era and is engraved with three images of Buddha, called Samjonsang. The center building of the temple, called Daeungbojeon Hall is also an artistic masterpiece, decorated with splendid colors and designs. The flower Salmun doors featuring lotus and chrysanthemum flowers add another element of traditional beauty to the building. · · ◎ Travel Information to Discover Hallyu’s Charm - K-Drama "Dae Jang Geum (2003)" · Viewers who enjoyed the timeless classic "Dae Jang Geum (Jewel in the Palace)" might remember the scene where Jang-geum throws stones into a pond with Min Jeong-ho watching from afar. That memorable scene was filmed at the pond within the Naesosa Temple complex. The tranquil temple atmosphere and the beautiful surroundings came together to deepen the emotional resonance of the drama.
