Recorded origin, in the register's own words
493년 극달화상이 창건하고 유가사라 하였으며 그 후 신라42대 832년 신지왕사가 중창하고 겨울에 오동나무 꽃이 상서롭게 피어 동화사라 이름을 고쳤다.
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.
