Eunhaesa, Buddhist temple in Yeongcheon, South Korea

The temple stands at the southern slopes of Palgongsan Mountain, featuring multiple halls and structures that exemplify traditional Korean Buddhist architecture.

Founded in 809 by National Preceptor Hyecheol during the Unified Silla period, Eunhaesa moved to its current location after destruction in 1545.

The temple buildings display calligraphy works by master Jeonghee Kim, including signboards at Daeoongjeon hall that represent Korean artistic traditions.

The temple offers various Templestay programs with accommodations, meditation sessions, and activities such as forest walks and visits to local hermitages.

Morning fog creates a silver sea effect around the temple grounds, which led to its current name Eunhaesa, meaning 'temple of the silver sea.'
