Gimhaeeunhasa Temple Daeungjeon Hall

This site originally held a temple called Seorimsa, but it is said that during the reign of King Suro of the Garak Kingdom, Master Jangyu rebuilt it and renamed it Eunhasa. During the Japanese invasions of 1592, all of the temple's buildings were burned down, and it was later rebuilt. Oral tradition holds that it was built about 380 years ago, though this is not certain; the building dates from the late Joseon period. This Buddhist hall is a dapo-style building with a gable roof, its bracket sets built up with three outward-projecting arms both inside and out. The upper surfaces of the outer bracket arms are carved with lotus flowers, while dragon and phoenix heads are carved above the inner and outer bracket arms, giving the hall an ornate appearance. Inside, a canopy is installed above the Buddha image, and a coffered ceiling is fitted only over the central bay; the painted decoration and wall paintings survive in good condition. Judging from these carvings and structural techniques, the present building is presumed to have been built in the late Joseon period.
