Recorded origin, in the register's own words

서기 643년 백제무왕 34년에 창건하였다.고려공민왕때 폐사되었던것을 1420년에 세종대왕의 명에 의해 중창하였다.특히 태국사는 안흥항을 통해 드나드는 내외사신들의 무사를 비는 사찰이었으며 국난시에는 태국사의 주지가 승군을 지휘할수 있는 권한을 가지고 있었다.

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.
