Recorded origin, in the register's own words
본래 이름은 산성사였음. 고려말 왜구를 막기 위해 승병을 기르기 위해 창건된 것으로 생각됨. 임란때 숨진 승병의 넋을 기리어 호국사라 칭함.
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.
