The beautiful roof of Mt. Hanmisan Heungguksa Temple Nahanjeon
Designated number: Goyang City Regional Cultural Properties No. 34
Location: 203 Jichuk-dong, Deokyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do
Heungguksa Temple, which was first built during the reign of King Silla Munmu, is the oldest temple in Goyang and has many cultural heritage sites. Located at the foot of Mt. Bukhansan and near Mt. Hanmisan, Heungguksa Temple has a total of 10 designated cultural heritages and protected trees. There is no Daeungjeon like in general temples in Heungguksa, but instead there is a central temple called Yaksajeon. Yaksajeon Temple was first built in 1710 and is designated and protected as the Gyeonggi-do Regional Cultural Properties No. 57. The latest version of the Hyeonpan (signboard) of Yaksajeon was known as the writing of King Yeongjo, and on the side and back there is a Buddhist painting of the Bicheondo. There are Yaksayeoraesang in the temple hall, and it is a beautiful building with a fantastic monument displayed in the building.
As being Goyang’s Cultural Asset No. 43, Nahanjeon Temple is located on the west side of Yaksajeon Temple which is the main gate of Heungguksa Temple. The Nahanjeon maintains the roof facing the other roof of the building. In the middle of the building, there is a signboard called Nahanjeon, where the statues of King Sacheon and floral patterns are combined to produce the beauty of Korean traditional architecture.
Nahanjeon is slightly smaller than Yaksajeon and is located northeastward. The wooden building is on top of a well-polished granite base, with stairs in the front.
Nahanjeon is accessed by a bus number 156 from the Gupabal Subway Station and a 15-minute walk from the entrance from Heungguksa Temple Station by bus.
