Daeungjeon Hall, Amitabha Temple (Previously Deogam Temple) with Features of Cave Stone
In 1966, Amitabha temple (previously Deogam Temple) was reconstructed by reparing the old stone cave called Turble Stone Cave.
The stone cave is assumed to have temple in the past.
This cave is used as Daeungjeon Hall(main building of temple) and the cave has height of 3m and area of 83㎡. In the stone cave, Amitabha Buddha Triad is enshrined.
On the left and right side of Buddha Triad, you will see Bodhisattava supporting the Triad, Mahasthama-prapta and Avalokitesvara. Those statues are designated and managed as Gyeonggi-do tangile cultural property No.246, wooden seated statue at Deogam Temple.
While Daeunjeon Hall utilizes nature, large Maitreya statue made of cement. Although the hall and statue may mismatch each other, the temple as neat impression.
