Sinheungsa Temple

Sinheungsa Temple, the oldest Zen temple in South Korea, was founded by the Shilla monk Jajang Yulsa in AD 652. Nestled within the scenic Seoraksan National Park, the temple has a history marked by destruction and rebirth, with the current structure dating back to 1648. Visitors can explore the serene grounds, which include a three-level pagoda and two Buddha statues, offering a glimpse into the rich spiritual and cultural heritage of the region.
