Recorded origin, in the register's own words
1927년 왜인이 창건 진조사라 하고 왜인의 사찰로 유지해 오다가 1945년 현 주지인 김희석씨가 인수와 동시 원각사라 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.
