Recorded origin, in the register's own words
석상암은 백제 위덕왕 24년 선운사창건당시 세워진 산내암자로 전해오고 있으나 선운사 사적기와 고창군지에 의하면 고려 충숙왕 5년에 효종선사에 의해 1차 중수되고 조선 성종 5년에 행호선사가 2차 중수하였으나 정유재란 때 병화로 소진된 것을 광해군 6년에 재건한 고찰임. 대웅전은 정면 5칸 측면 2칸 36평의 이익공 맛배지붕에다 자연석 덤벙주초에 민흘림 기둥을 사용한 조선중기의 독특한 건축 양식을 지닌 천년고찰임.
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.
