Jeonnamgwangjutonghapteukbyeol-si. The register lists its founding year as 서기809.
The public register has no coordinates for this temple, so the on-site stamp does not work here. Keep the visit in your own memory instead.
Recorded origin, in the register's own words
신라 현덕왕 말기 도의선사가 보림사를 창건후 개천사를 창건 정유재란으로 소실되었다가 복구후 일제시대에는 용화사로 불리웠고 천불전은 한국동란으로 소실
This paragraph is the origin and history field of the traditional temple register published by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, copied exactly. We leave it in Korean rather than translating it, because a translation would put founding dates, people and schools of Buddhism into words the source never used. Nothing here was added or edited by us.
