화엄사(제9호)
Romanized from Korean under the Revised Romanization of Korean (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism Notice 2014-42). It is a transcription, not an official English name.
전남광주통합특별시 구례군 마산면 화엄사로 539
Jeonnamgwangjutonghapteukbyeol-si. The register lists its founding year as 544.
The public register has no coordinates for this temple, so the on-site stamp does not work here. Keep the visit in your own memory instead.
Recorded origin, in the register's own words
신라 진흥왕 5년에 연기조사 창건 선덕여왕 12년(643)에 자장율사가 증축 조선 선조 25년 임진왜란으로 불타버리고 인조 8년(1630)에 현암선사가 중건
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.
