Seoknamsa Temple is known to have been presided by prominent monks such as Monk Hyegeo in the Goryeo dynasty. It is also where hundreds of monks in training stayed and practiced Buddhism at the time. The Daeungjeon Hall, which has three rooms on the front and three rooms on the sides, looks simple yet imposing with its gabled roof with double-layer eaves. The building with a hipped and gable roof resembling a crane flying right below the Daeungjeon Hall harmonizes with the Yeongsanjeon Hall. Seoknamsa Temple, which looms over the site, exudes a charm that immerses visitors with the energy of Seounsan Mountain.
