Sinheungsa
Sinheungsa
> Location: (Postal Code) 467-900 931-Seoneup-ri, Janghowon-eup, Icheon-si
> Assigned Number: 51st
Sinheungsa is located under the old ruined castle of Seolseong Mountain. There is a temple called Seolseongsa in the period of the Three States of Korea (The exact years are not known) when the building of Seolsung (Snow Castle) was in process.
The oldest remaining record should be the description in the book <Yeojidoseo> which was written in the 36th year of King Yeongjo (1760). It means that Seolsung was mentioned in the book with the record ¡°Now there is a small Buddhist temple¡± This might be the first record about Sinheungsa. The supporting fact is that the temple was mentioned in the book <Garamgo> written by Gyeongjun Shin (1712~1718) which was written in the period of <Yeojidoseo>.
Yeonhwajeongsa
Yeonhwajeongsa
> Location: 51-Jaseok-ri san, Seolseong-myeon, Icheon-si, Gyeonggi-do
> Assigned Number: 53rd
Yeonhwa Jeongsa is located near the edge of a northern mountain range that is on the opposite side of Seolseong Mountain that has Sinheungsa and Seolseong. It is located near the boundary of Seolseong-myeon and Janghowon-eup. Originally Seolseong-myeon, which was located in the northern area within the jurisdiction of Icheon, was Wonbuk-myeon Wonbuk-myeon Taean-gun Chungcheongnam-do.
Later the history of Eumjusa, which was built in the years of King Yeojong of Goryeo (1105 ~ 1122), was not known but Daewoongjeon was built on the spot where the temple site remained in 1967. Sansingak and Yosache were built to call it, Yeonhwajeongsa.
Yeonwonsa
Yeonwonsa
> Location: 436- Songmal1-ri, Baeksa-myeon, Icheon-si, Gyeonggi-do
> Assigned Number: 52nd
Yeongwonsa is located near the southern edge of Wonjeok Mountain. It was built by monk Haeo in the 7th year of Queen Seondeok (638). It was built in a slightly higher position than the current site at the beginning. From the beginning to Japanese Imperialism, it was called Yeongwonam. In those days, the agate (obtained from water) was used to build the status of a pharmacist called Yeoraejwasang. According to the Sajeokgi, after about 400 years Hyegeogooksa rebuilt the burned Yeongwonam in 1068 (the 22nd year of King Munjong of Goryeo). The ginkgo trees, which were planted at that time, are still alive.
Yeongwolam
Yeongwolam
> Location: 438- Gwango-dong Icheon-si Gyeonggi-do
> Assigned Number: 50th
Yeongwolam is located in the place where you can look along the edge of Seolbong Mountain of Icheon-si. In the years of King Munmu of Silla, Euisangdaesa (625~702) built Yeongwolsa and called it Bukaksa. Also the name of the mountain became Bugaksa. But there are no supporting documents that can prove the rumor so no one knows whether or no it¡¯s true. But Yeongwolam has the Yeongwolam Maaeyeorae Ipsang (822nd treasure) which is estimated to have been built in the middle of Goryeo. Seokjo Kwangbae, which was assigned as the 3rd Korean relics and Yeonhwajwabae, are estimated to have been created between the unified Silla and early Goryeo periods.
By this evidence, it seems Yeongwolam was pretty prosperous between the late unified Silla and Goryeo periods. In the 50th year of Yeongjo (774), Yeongwoldaesa Nanggyu rebuilt Bukaksa and changed the temple¡¯s name to Yeongwolsa by his aho (the nicknames of monks).
