History
When King Taejo of Joseon Dynasty established the capital city in Seoul, he assigned Josaeng (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler), a monk from a Buddhist temple affiliated to the royal court as the head monk of the new temple to establish it at the site.[2]
The temple was destroyed during the 1592–1598 Japanese invasions of Korea and after the Manchu invasions of Korea. Afterwards, the former site was neglected for centuries. In 1912, during the Japanese colonial period, the temple was rebuilt by P'ak Sŏnmuk (Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler). It was continually expanded over the following decades. It was made a subsidiary temple of another temple in Seoul, Bongeunsa.[1]
The temple now consists of a number of hermitages that are together collectively called Inwangsa.[1]
