Sujongsa Temple is a branch temple of Bongseonsa Temple, located near the top of Ungilsan Mountain. Amazing views from Sujongsa Temple include various mountaintops and the Bukhangang River. While records are not entirely clear, it is believed that the temple was built in 1439 during the Joseon period. The temple went through many reconstructions and expansions, but ultimately was entirely destroyed during the Korean War. In 1975, Monk Hyegwang began reconstructing the temple, starting with Daeungbojeon Hall and slowly expanded the temple site subsequently.
