The Mahayana Buddhist sect was introduced into Korea from China, and many temples were established there, but during the Joseon Dynasty temples in urban areas were destroyed due to the suppression of Buddhism. However, mountain temples survived, and their function as places of worship was expanded, and facilities for training were developed.
Based on Buddhist faith, mountain temples continue to hold religious activities, ceremonies, lectures, and training, reflecting various faiths. In addition, mountain temples have well preserved the typical characteristics of Korean mountain temples and are representative Buddhist temples that can be divided into three types: curved-bottom type, sloping type, and moored type.
