Jeonnamgwangjutonghapteukbyeol-si. The register lists its founding year as 1914.
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
1924년 모진택이 처음 집을 지어 별당으로 활용하다 1938년경 용천사 신도에 의해 포교당으로 설립. 이범림이 대표승이 되어 운영되었음 1942년 모정숙 주지에 인수되어 보광사 사원으로 명명
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.
