Monastery Popchusa: "The place where the law lives / resides", the law refers to the Buddhist law - dharma.
The temple/monastery is believed to have been built in 6th to 8th, or even to the 13th century AD. Even if it was only the 13th century, it is an old monastery;there are some ancient relics there, but a modern statue of Maitreya Buddha (height 33 m) you will see on the premisis strikes the imagination too.
One of the oldest Buddhist temples in Korea, enlisted in UNESCO world heritage.
