Recorded origin, in the register's own words
668년 의상조사가 창건하였으며, 발본산 지덕사라 하였음. 1457년 단종대왕이 노산군으로 강봉되어 이곳 영월로 유배되자 노릉사라 개칭하였으며 그후 태백산 보덕사라 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.
