Daeungjeon Hall of Anjeogam Hermitage, Yangsan

This hermitage stands on a ridge of Wonjeoksan Mountain and is a Joseon-period building said to be one of 89 hermitages that once stood in the valley of Naewonsa Temple. It was built by the monk Wonhyo in the fifteenth year of Queen Seondeok (646) and rebuilt by the monk Yeonghun in the twenty-fourth year of King Injo (1646). It has since undergone repeated repairs down to the present. The signboard of the hall reads Daeungjeon, and the building measures six kan (bays) across the front and three kan along the side. The roof is a paljakjibung, a hip-and-gable roof whose sloping sides form the shape of the character 八 (meaning "eight"), and the building is built in the jusimpo style, in which the bracket sets supporting the roof eaves rest only on top of the columns. It fully embodies the architectural style of the late Joseon period and, having been preserved with relatively little alteration, is used as important research material for the history of Buddhist architecture.
