Situated at the foot of Taehwasan Mountain in Gongju, Magoksa Temple was established in 640 during the reign of Queen Seondeok of the Silla dynasty. It was originally founded as a grand temple, but only few major halls and gates remain preserved today along with several significant cultural relics and heritages. The temple site was used as a refuge site during times of war, and it survived the the Imjin War (1592-1598) and the Korean War (1950-1953).
