Heungnyongsa Temple

Baegunsan Heungnyongsa Temple is a branch temple of Bongseonsa, located on Baegunsan Mountain (elevation 904m) in Dopyeong-ri, Idong-myeon. It was founded by National Preceptor Doseon in the late Silla period. According to legend, when selecting the temple site, he released three wooden birds into the air, and one of them landed on Baegunsan Mountain, where the temple was built. At the time of its founding, it was called Naewonsa and was a large temple with four buildings including the main hall. It was rebuilt in 1786 and renamed Baegunsa, then repaired again in 1922 and renamed Heuknyongsa. At the entrance of Heungnyongsa Temple, there is a local heritage site, 'Heungnyongsa Cheongamdang Budo', which enshrines the sarira of Great Master Cheongam, who founded the hermitage Bomunam in the 26th year of King Injo of Joseon. This stupa follows the basic octagonal round hall style, with an upper part carved with a lotus design, a circular body, and a missing canopy. The body is inscribed with 'Cheongamdang', and all parts are made of granite, with a total height of 158cm. Next to this stupa stands a bell-shaped stupa inscribed with 'Myohwadang', built in the 7th year of King Sukjong, as indicated by the inscription 'Kangxi 20th year' on the body.
