전남광주통합특별시 담양군 금성면 외추리
Jeonnamgwangjutonghapteukbyeol-si. The register lists its founding year as 1905.
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
1905년 도광스님의 부친 김기춘 거사께서 고향인 이곳 황대산에 수행처로 보광사를 창건 사찰이 퇴락하자 1942년 도광, 도천 두선사가 선친의 유지를 받들어 보광사를 중창
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.
