Recorded origin, in the register's own words

칠현산 기슭에 있는 사찰로서 신라 삼국통일전 7C 중엽 자장율사에 의해 창건하고, 그 후 쇠퇴일로에 있었던 것을 고려 현종 5년 혜소국사가 대중수하여 오늘에 이르고 있음

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.
