Saseongam Hermitage (Gurye) (사성암(구례))

303 Saseongam-gil, Muncheok-myeon, Gurye-gun, Jeonnam-Gwangju Special Metropolitan City

Overview

Saseongam Hermitage is a hermitage located at the peak of Osan in Gurye (elevation 531m). It is estimated to have been built during the Baekje period (B.C. 18-A.D. 660). Many people visit it to see the sanctuary where the 53 statues of the Buddhist Avatamsaka Sutra are enshrined. The view of the Seomjingang River and the village from the temple is magnificent, and the refreshing breeze feels as if it penetrates through one's body, leading to its designation as a scenic spot in August 2014.
