Dori-sa Temple

Dori-sa was built by Adowhasang who introduced Buddhism to Korea during the Silla Dynasty. The temple is presumed to have originally been located at the foot of Naengsan Mountain. It burned in a fire in 1677. It was later moved to the current site in 1729 and renamed as Dori Temple (The name Dori means views of peach and plum blossoms all over the hillsides of the mountain, even in the winter).

As a result, the roof of this building is shaped like the Chinese A.kimchi pots on the roof maple at main building
