Oeosa Temple

Oeosa Temple, located on Unjesan Mountain, is a historic Buddhist temple founded in the 7th century during the reign of King Jinpyeong of the Silla dynasty. Originally known as Hangsasa Temple, it is associated with the renowned monk Wonhyo. According to legend, the temple’s name, which can literally be translated as “My Fish Temple,” comes from a story in which Wonhyo and another monk competed to revive fish in a nearby stream through spiritual power. The oldest structure in the temple is Daeungjeon Hall, rebuilt in 1741 during the Joseon dynasty. The temple is home to important cultural treasures, including the Daeungjeon Hall.
