Seonunsa, Buddhist temple on Dosolsan mountain, South Korea
Located on the slopes of Dosolsan near the Yellow Sea coast, Seonunsa temple contains 13 buildings, including the central Daeoongbojeon main Buddha hall.
Established in 577 CE by Master Geomdan during the reign of Baekjae King Wideok, Seonunsa reached its peak with 189 temple buildings and 89 hermitages.
The temple preserves six state-designated cultural heritage items, including a gilt-bronze seated Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue and the Daeungjeon main hall.
The temple manages three natural monuments: the Forest of Common Camellias, Jangsasong Pine Tree, and Songak Ivy, with peak camellia blooming in mid-April.
The Manseru building features untrimmed tree trunks as columns and crossbeams, constructed entirely from lumber remaining after other buildings were completed.
