Yujomsa

The temple grounds contain multiple stone structures and architectural elements characteristic of traditional Korean Buddhist design from the Silla period.

Founded in the seventh century during the Silla period, Yujomsa became one of the Four Great Temples of Mount Kumgang alongside Pyohunsa, Changansa, and Singyesa.

Yujomsa maintains its position as a center for Buddhist practices in North Korea, with ceremonial gatherings and religious observations continuing at the site.

The temple foundation stones remain accessible to visitors, offering insights into the original layout and architectural planning of this seventh-century religious complex.

According to local records, the temple site was chosen following the arrival of 53 golden Buddha statues that mysteriously appeared on Mount Kumgang.
