Outside of Geuk Lak Bo Jeon Hall in Mu Wi Sa Temple
It looked like humble building at first look, but this building seemed to have a great beauty and history.
Mu Wi Sa temple would’ve been more than 1300 years old. Interest thing was there was no record that this temple had been fired during the wars through a long history.
If this temple did not suffer the catastrophe, then Geuk Lak Bo Jeon Hall would be the oldest wooden building in Korea.
Geuk Lak Bo Jeon Hall was serving for Amitabha Buddha in Buddhist paradise. I could not enter into the inside of the hall, because some kinds of family ceremony was undergoing in the hall.
I could not disturb their ceremony.
At first I looked around outside of the hall. The drainage system around the hall was similar to that of Su Deok Sa case which was believed to be built in Goryeo dynasty.
And the foundation stone structures were as same as that of Su Deok Sa Dae Wung Jeon.
The bottom of Geuk Lak Bo Jeon was covered with the tiles which symbolized the ground of Buddhist paradise.
The Buddhist paradise ground was believed to paved with the bleu Jade.
@slowwalker,
Seriously I am little bit surprised by hearing 1300+ years old wooden building (a hall) still survived to see the beauty and knowledge of architect of Ancient Korean Civilizations! I wish one day you could show us the inside of that hall! little bit curious to see the inside of this ancient building and thank you very much for sharing such great travel experience with us!
Cheers~

Hey there Mr. Walker! Another Gem of a place to visit in South Korea. Every time I see your post I want to go back. But it's too cold this time of year. Just bought tickets to Bali and will be there for a couple months. Have you ever been to Bali?
Awesome Island and they have a very cool culture with all sorts of temples like you show in your blog, but obviously done in there way.
Have a great day! -Dan
This is a constructive examination of the Mu Wi Sa temple andy goodness, what a age, 1300? Wow the artisanry and the strength of this building is absolutely magical if you ask me, from the drainage system to this simplicity, this is obviously massage wow, thanks for bringing this.
I am Shocked at How a Wooden Structure like this Beautiful Building can Hold Up Overtime......................@slowwalker. Thank You for always Bringing History and Great Content so that Everyone can Learn about these Places.............
You are right when I saw first picture I thought that this is looking quite poor, but my hubby said that if I consider the age of the temple and this condition then it is really wonder that it still exist. It is nice that people still using it for their ceremony that it is not abandoned like some of the buildings. The foundation is based on strong stones that is another reason that the building still there and not destroyed with weather and rain.
