Sangwonsa, Buddhist temple in Pyeongchang County, South Korea

The Sangwonsa temple complex stands at 938 meters elevation on Namdaebong Peak, featuring traditional halls, stone pagodas, and mountain views.

Founded during the Silla period, Sangwonsa temple served as a location for royal prayers during the Joseon dynasty to ensure national peace.

The temple maintains the Daeungjeon Hall, designated as Cultural Property Material Number 18, containing a Buddha statue with dragon-shaped head decoration.

Visitors can reach Sangwonsa at 930 Seongnam-ro in Sillim-myeon through public transportation or private vehicles with clear directional signs.

Two stone pagodas beside Daeungjeon Hall display unusual round lotus bud carvings on top, distinguishing them from standard pagoda designs.

Elevation above the sea: 938 m
