Manseru Pavilion of Anjeongsa Temple, Tongyeong

Anjeongsa Temple was founded at the foot of Byeokbangsan Mountain by the monk Wonhyo in the first year of King Muyeol of Silla (654). Manseru Pavilion was first built in the twelfth year of King Sukjong of Joseon (1686) and was rebuilt in the seventh year of King Heonjong (1841), in the form it retains today. It has three bays across the front and two bays to the side, and although it lacks the function of a gate pavilion, it is used as a venue for Buddhist assemblies and as a bell pavilion. Pavilions of this kind are generally built in front of the main hall of a temple and often combine three functions together: serving as a gate pavilion marking the entrance, housing a bell as a bell pavilion, and serving as a hall for Buddhist assemblies. This building displays the distinctive characteristics of pavilions built at temples in the Gyeongsangnam-do region during the Joseon period.
