Jeonnamgwangjutonghapteukbyeol-si. The register lists its founding year as 서기1936.
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 신문왕 때 완도 죽청리에 관음사로 창건한 것으로 전함 장보고대사가 청해진을 설치했을 때 도승 김성열이 재건하여 불교를 부흥하고 관음사를 신흥한다 하여 신흥사로 개칭
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.
