Recorded origin, in the register's own words

신라 진덕여왕 6년 자장율사가 창건(신흥사와 동시에)했는데 정확히 신흥사보다 먼저 창건. 1548년 중건, 고종 27년(1890) 응화스님이 삼성각 건립하여 현재에 이르고 있음.

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.
