Hwaeomsa Temple is a thousand-year-old temple located at the foot of Jirisan Mountain in Gurye-eup. Founded in 544, the temple originally comprised only two buildings but was later expanded by Monk Jajang in 643 and further expanded by National Preceptor Doseon in 875. After being destroyed by fire during the Imjin War, Seon Master Byeogam began rebuilding the temple in 1630 and completed it in 1636.Source: Korea Tourism Organization TourAPI
