Deokjusa Sansingak - Deokjusa is a branch temple of Beopjusa of the Jogye Order. The temple is believed to have been established by Princess Deokju, the last princess of the Silla Kingdom, in 586 CE. According to legend, Princess Deokju stayed at the site with Prince Maui and built the temple, naming it “Deokjusa” after herself. The temple once stood in front of the Deokjusa Maaebul Rock-carved Buddha but was burned down during the Korean War. Deokjusa was destroyed during the Korean War and all that remained were the temple grounds. The present main temple building stands about a mile from the original temple site and is the result of reconstruction efforts conducted in the 1970s.
