Main Buddha Hall of Bongseonsa Temple, Namyangju

The Main Buddha Hall of Bongseonsa Temple, Namyangju, was rebuilt in reinforced concrete after being destroyed during the Korean War, built in the dapo (multi-cluster bracket) style with a hipped-and-gabled roof. Rather than naming its signboard 'Daeungjeon', it was given the name 'Keun Beopdang' (Great Dharma Hall), clearly reflecting the intent of the monk Unheo, who took the lead in popularising Buddhism among ordinary people. It stands as a representative example of the techniques of the 1960s–1970s, when modern building materials and structures were used in an attempt to express architectural tradition, and it holds great value in the history of modern architecture and of Buddhism.
