Recorded origin, in the register's own words
법주사 동북방 200미터 지점에 위치. 신라 진흥왕 14년 의신조사가 창건하였으며 언제 동암이 폐사되었는지 모르나 60여년전까지만 해도 본 암자가 조금 남아 있었다고 함.
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.
