Samhwasa
삼화사
Romanized from Korean under the Revised Romanization of Korean (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism Notice 2014-42). It is a transcription, not an official English name.
강원특별자치도 동해시 삼화동 산172번지
Gangwonteukbyeoljachi-do. The register lists its founding year as 642.
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
신라 선덕여왕 11년 자장율사 창건. 신라 경문왕 4년 중건, 고려 공민왕 18년 확장. 임진왜란 때 전소. 1908년 중건, 1997년 이건.
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.
