JEONDEUNGSA TEMPLE

During the Goryo Dynasty, this temple was called Jinjongsa and was used as a shrine in honor of the ancestors. Built by the Buddhist monk evangelist Ado, it is located within the Samnangseong fortress. Important architectural works such as the Daeungbojeon Hall with its delicate sculptures can be seen here. On its walls you can read the names of the soldiers who fought against the French naval troops. Other historical treasures are also to be discovered, such as the Beonjong bell.
