Yeongwonsa
Originally built by Uisangdaesa in the 16th year of Shilla King Munmu, it was closed shortly afterward and remained so until Monk Kim Gyeongjun reopened it in 1964. Unfortunately, no relics from the past remain today.
North of the temple is what remains of the Yeongwonsanseong (fortress), which was built to defend the lands from outside invaders. This was a point of strategic importance during the Imjin Waeran and the Korean War.
