Muwisa (무위사) is a Buddhist temple in Wolchulsan, Gangjin County, South Jeolla province, South Korea. Geungnakjeon Hall, National Treasure No. 13, is on the site.[1]
History
Muwisa was built by Wonhyo during Shinla dynasty and its name has changed several times from Gal-ok temple to Mo-ok temple to Muwisa. Though it was first constructed in the 7th century, much of the area was destroyed during the Seven Year War in the 16th century. Until recent years, Geungnakjeon hall and other few parts were all that was left from the fire but due to preservation construction in 1974, Haetalmoon, Bunhyanggak, Chunbuljun, Mireukjun was restored. After Shinla dynasty, Muwisa played vital role as temple, serving buddha during Sejong, Sungjong and so on.
