Directions

Dogapsa Temple, built during the late Silla period, has a long history and various national treasures. Approximately 100 meters from Iljumun Gate of Dogapsa Temple is Haetalmun Gate (gate of emancipation), built in 1473 with a unique design that is also designated as a National Treasure. Near the gate is Treasure No. 1134, Wooden Child Manjusri and Samantabhadra of Dogapsa Temple.

A five-story stone pagoda as well as Stone Seated Buddha (a Treasure) can also be seen at the temple. A large amount of the temple was burnt down during various wars, but the remaining stones show how large the temple once was.
