Geodonsa Temple Site, Wonju

Historic Site · Wonju, Gangwon

The former site of Geodonsa Temple in Wonju, Gangwon Province, where a once-flourishing Goryeo-period temple fell into ruin, leaving only the empty ground behind. Said to have been founded in the late Silla to early Goryeo period, the traces of the ancient monastery layout are laid bare across the wide empty site. The quiet atmosphere offered by the neatly maintained empty space has made it a beloved spot for photography. A well-proportioned three-story stone pagoda and the stele of National Master Wongong remain, conveying the face of Goryeo stone art.
