Jeollanam-do. The register lists its founding year as 서기1927.

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

건립연대는 알 수 없으나 1751년 금동종을 소유하고 있는 것으로 보아 그 이전에 창건된 것으로 보임 그 후 관서당에 가깝다 하여 헐어버리고 1927년 중건

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.
