Pagyesa Temple Jeongmukdang Hall

Pagyesa Temple is said to have been founded in 804, the fifth year of King Aejang of Unified Silla, and comprises a main hall, auxiliary buildings and several hermitages. Records state that Jeongmukdang Hall was built in 1620, the twelfth year of King Gwanghaegun of Joseon, though this is not certain. It was rebuilt in 1695, the twenty-first year of King Sukjong, and has since been repaired several times to reach its present form. The building measures six bays across the front and six bays along the side, with a hip-and-gable roof that forms the shape of the Chinese character 八 (eight) when viewed from the side. It is a fine example of the simple architectural style of the late Joseon period, conveying the beauty of unadorned traditional architecture.
