Daeungjeon Hall of Chiljangsa Temple, Anseong

While no one knows exactly when Daeungjeon Hall of Chiljangsa Temple in Anseong was originally built, records show that it underwent a major renovation in 1790 and was moved to its current location in 1828. The building is regarded as a fine example of Buddhist architecture of the late Joseon period.

The hall is a three-bay by three-bay structure with a tiled gable roof, and is notable for the installation of elaborate ornamental bracket clusters not only on the column tops but between them as well. Each bay has two bracket clusters fixed under the eaves. The hall also has a grid-shape ceiling elaborately decorated with paintings of lotus flowers and other common Buddhist motifs, and is enshrined with the Shakyamuni Buddha Triad.
