Cheongamsa Temple, Buddhist temple site in Gimcheon, South Korea.

The temple complex stands at the base of Mount Sudosan, featuring two main courtyards divided by a flowing mountain stream.

Founded in 859 by monk Doseon-guksa, the temple underwent five reconstructions following multiple fires, including major restorations in 1647 and 1782.

The Daeung-jeon Hall contains detailed Buddhist murals and houses a central statue of Seokgamoni-bul among traditional religious artifacts.

The temple maintains a Buddhist Women's College, Sungga-daehakgyo, established in 1987 for training female monks in religious practices.

Ancient inscriptions remain visible on rocks near Ubicheon spring, which holds traditional geomantic importance according to historical records.
