Magoksa Temple Eungjinjeon Hall

Magoksa Temple is said to have been founded in 640, the forty-first year of King Mu of Baekje, by the vinaya master Jajang. Many buildings survive within the temple grounds, including Eungjinjeon Hall along with Daeungjeon Hall, Yeongsanjeon Hall, Daegwangbojeon Hall and Hongseongnu Pavilion. Eungjinjeon Hall was newly repaired in 1852, the third year of King Cheoljong. It measures three kan across the front and two kan to the side, and its roof is a hip-and-gable roof, shaped like the character 八 when seen from the side. The bracket sets supporting the eaves are built up in the dapo style, set not only above the columns but also between them. Inside, an image of the Buddha is enshrined at the centre, flanked on either side by images of his sixteen disciples, the nahan.
