Recorded origin, in the register's own words
신라 진흥왕 5년(544)에 연기조사가 창건. 선덕여왕 12년(643)에 자장율사가 증축. 이조 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.
