Seokjongsa Temple, affiliated with the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism, is located on the slopes of Geumbongsan Mountain on the outskirts of Chungju. The temple complex includes Daeungjeon Hall, Ohwagak Hall, a bell pavilion, meditation quarters, and several auxiliary buildings. Rather than serving only ordained monks, the temple also provides space for lay Buddhists to stay and practice.
Through its Templestay programs, visitors can experience meditation and learn about Buddhism in a quiet setting. The temple also operates a Buddhist college that offers systematic education on the Buddha’s teachings for both practitioners and the general public.
In addition, Seokjongsa Templ houses several cultural heritage items, including the Bulseol Sasimijang-gyeong and Incheon Anmok Gweonsang.
