Introduction to the Institution

This institution is a temple founded by Monk Cheolgam during the reign of King Gyeongmun of Silla, who returned from China and saw the beauty of the mountains and rivers. The topography of the temple is such that there are two mountain peaks in front and behind, that is, twin peaks, and so it is called Ssangbongsa.

There are various cultural heritages inside the temple, such as Daeungjeon, Geukrakjeon, Cheolgamseonsa Tam, and Cheolgamseonsa Pagoda Monument, and it was designated as a Jeollanam-do monument in 2014.

A word from a local organization official

Temple stay is a traditional cultural experience program where you can experience the daily life of a practitioner in a mountain temple where the history and culture of Korean Buddhism are alive and breathing.

We strive to convey special emotions to those who seek true happiness away from their busy daily lives.

We hope that you will stay at the temple for as long as you want and comfort your tired body and mind.

We hope that you will breathe with nature and recharge your life energy through meditation and Buddhist services.
