Recorded origin, in the register's own words

선찰사는 신라시대 창건된 것으로만 전해지고 그 후의 연혁은 전하지 않고있다. 안동의 향토지인 영가지에 따르면 선찰사는 임하현 남쪽 17리쯤 떨어진 약산 동쪽의 물이 휘돌아 가는 곳에 있다. 왼쪽으로는 절벽이 싸고 있고 앞에는 독산이 마주하였다고 적고 있다.

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.
