Silleuksa Temple is located along the upper section of the Namhangang River as it flows from Bongmisan Mountain in Yeoju. It is believed that Silleuksa Temple was built by Monk Wonhyo during the reign of Silla King Jinpyeong, but there is no evidence to prove this. The temple is famous for being a place where Naong Hyegeun stopped in 1376. The temple began to be called Boeunsa in 1472, but the name changed back to Silleuksa Temple in 1858.
