💡 Overview

Hwaamsa Temple is located near Joseon dynasty’s scholar and writer Kim Jeong-hui’s, also referred to his pen name Chusa, house. The temple has ties with the ancient writer, as the temple is known to have been repaired and renovated by Kim Jeong-hui’s great grandfather. There are no records that explains the foundation of Hwaamsa Temple, and only a timeline of its reconstruction can be found in “Records of Hwaamsa Temple Restoration” plaque, which is displayed in Sudeoksa Temple Museum. The timeline was recorded by Kim Myeong-hee in 1848, and written by Kim Seong-hee, and carved by Cho Seok-shin. The name “Hwaamsa” was given by King Yeongjo (r. 1724-1776).
