The temple was founded by National Preceptor Ilgyo in the 3rd year of King Hyoso of Silla (694), and it is said that Seolchong once studied here. Geuknakjeon Hall was built in 1425 with the benefactor of Seong Dal-saeng. Uhwaru is also designated as a treasure as a building that shows the characteristics of ancient architecture. The bronze bell made during the reign of King Gwanghaegun was cast by Hoyeong, and it is called the alarm clock because it made a sound when something unfortunate happened to the temple or the country to inform of the emergency. Hwaamsa Temple is surrounded by the primeval forest of Myeongsan Mountain like a folding screen and has a valley with clear water flowing. * Major cultural assets: Hwaamsa Uhwaru (Treasure), Hwaamsa Geuknakjeon (National Treasure), Hwaamsa Bronze Bell (Local Tangible Cultural Property), Hwaamsa Reconstruction Monument (Local Tangible Cultural Property)
