Recorded origin, in the register's own words

팔공산 동편 능선에 자리잡고 있으며, 확실한 창건연대는 전해지지 않으나, 신라 흥덕왕 때 의상대사가 창건하였다고 전한다. 사방 어느 곳에서 바라보아도 바위암반이 가리워져 사찰을 찾지 못하는게 특징이다. 법당의 창건기로 미루어보면, 관음전은 1959년에 신축하여 이듬해 단청을 하였으며, 요사체는 1954에, 산령각은 1960년에 신축한 것이다.

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.
