Heungcheonsa (Korean: Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler) is a Buddhist temple of the Jogye Order in Donam-dong, Seongbuk District, Seoul, South Korea.
Daebang Hall, one of the buildings in the temple, is a National Registered Cultural Heritage of South Korea.[1]
The first predecessor to the current temple was built in 1396, during the reign of King Taejo in the early Joseon period. It was originally built in Jeong-dong near Gyeongbokgung, to the east side of the tomb of Queen Sindeok, who had died in the previous year.[2][3] It was made the head temple of the Jogye order.[2] A three-story pavilion was constructed in June 1398. In December 1504, the temple burned down due to a conflict between Confucian and Buddhist scholars.[3][2] A large bell for the temple was moved to the palace Deoksugung, where it now remains, and is now National Treasure No. 1460.[3][2] In 1569, the temple was rebuilt in a different location. In 1794, the temple was moved to its current location, and renamed to Sinheungsa (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler).[2] In 1865, under the reign of King Gojong, it was renamed to its current name.[2]
