About ten Daewonsa Temple buildings existed before the Korean War, but most of them were burnt during Yeosu Rebellion except for the Gukrak-Pavilion.
Daewonsa Temple was built by Adohwasang during King Jijeung’s reign in the Silla Dynasty per the “Temple Record of the Joseon Dynasty.” It has been reconstructed twice: It was rebuilt first by Minister Wonoguksa in the Goryeo Dynasty and the second time in the 43rd year of King Youngjo’s reign in the Joseon Dynasty.
