Ssanggyesa Temple, South Gyeongsang Province

Ssanggyesa buildings

The buildings below the small shrine building at the top of Ssanggyesa, a head temple of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism, founded in 722 as Okcheonsa (Jade-Heaven Temple) and renamed “Ssanggyesa” (Twin-Streams Monastery) in the 9th century. Most of the temple dates to the 17th century or thereafter, because all its buildings were burned to the ground by Japanese invaders in1592.
