Situated in Namyangju city of Gyeonggi province, Bongsunsa temple's history goes back to the year 969 when Beopin, the national preceptor founded this temple as "Unaksa". The temple was renamed as "Bongunsa" in 1469 by Queen Jeonghui to pray for King Sejo's peaceful resting of the soul.
It was destroyed during the Qing invasion of Joseon, the Japanese invasion and the Korean war, but after years of repairs and restoration, it became the temple as it is now.
