Yeongjisa Daeungjeon Hall, Yeongcheon

This building was first founded during the reign of King Muyeol of Silla by the monk Uisang and was originally called Ungjeongam Hermitage. It was destroyed by fire during the Imjin War (the Japanese invasions of 1592-98) and was later rebuilt by the Venerable Yeongji, who renamed it Yeongjisa Temple. It was subsequently renovated in 1774, the 50th year of King Yeongjo of Joseon, and has remained in its present form to this day.
