Gaesimsa, Buddhist temple in Unsan-myeon, South Korea.
Gaesimsa temple stands amid mountain slopes with multiple wooden structures featuring traditional bracket systems and gable roofs throughout the complex.
The temple traces its origins to 654 during King Uija's reign of the Baekje Dynasty, with major renovations completed in 1484 under King Seongjong.
The Daeungjeon Hall contains architectural elements that demonstrate early Joseon Dynasty construction techniques through its distinctive three-room layout and bracket arrangements.
Located at 321-86 Gaesimsa-ro in Seosan, the temple welcomes visitors who typically spend between one and two hours exploring the grounds.
The temple's structural design differs from other Korean temples through its specialized bracket system that supports eaves both on and between columns.
