Namwonsa Temple Mireukjeon Hall

Namwonsa Temple is said to have been founded in 831, the sixth year of King Heungdeok of Unified Silla, by the National Preceptor Jingam. It was originally a large temple complex of dozens of buildings called Beopdangsa, but it fell into ruin over time. The temple grounds today contain the Mireukjeon Hall, a bell pavilion, and monks' quarters. The Mireukjeon Hall measures three bays across the front and two bays along the side, with a gabled roof that forms the shape of the character 人 (person) when viewed from the side. In front of the hall stands a five-storey stone pagoda, but it is so badly damaged that it has lost its original form.
