Samcheogyeongeunsa Temple Daeungbojeon Hall

Yeongeunsa Temple was first built in 892, the sixth year of Queen Jinseong of Unified Silla, by Master Beomil, who called it Unmangsa Temple at the time. In 1585, the eighteenth year of King Seonjo of Joseon, Master Samyeong moved it to its present site and renamed it Yeongeunsa Temple. The temple is said to have burned down completely in a forest fire and to have been rebuilt in 1805, the fifth year of King Sunjo. The Daeungbojeon Hall of Yeongeunsa Temple measures three bays across the front and three bays to the side. Seen from the side, its roofline forms the shape of the Chinese character 人 (person), a simple gable roof. The gongpo, the bracket sets that support the roof while also serving as decoration, are placed both above the pillars and between them, in the dapo (multi-cluster bracket) style. Buildings in the dapo style usually have a hip-and-gable or a hipped roof, so this hall is unusual in having a gable roof instead. Inside, it enshrines a triad of Shakyamuni Buddha images and houses five Buddhist paintings (taenghwa).
