Introduction

용화사는 청주 무심천변에 자리한 통일신라시대의 사찰이다. 선덕여왕 때 은점선사가 처음 지었으며, 조선 인조 6년에 화재로 소실된 것을 영조 18년(1752) 벽담선사가 다시 짓고 용화사라 하여 오늘에 이르렀다. 경내에는 보광전을 비롯하여 명부전, 용화전, 탐진당, 적묵당, 해월루 등 목조건물과 불사리 4 사자 법륜탑, 효봉스님 사리탑이 있다. 불사리 4 사자 법륜탑은 우리나라에서는 보기 드문 고대 아쇼카 양식의 원주 석탑으로, 진신사리 7 과가 봉안되어 있다. 산내 암자로는 고려 태조 26년(943) 도솔선사가 세웠다는 도솔암, 조선 숙종 7년(1681) 청안선사가 세웠다는 관음암이 있다. 용화사에는 1902년 고종의 비인 순빈 엄 씨가 명하여 발견했다는 칠존의 석불이 안치되어 있으며, 상당산성 안에 있던 보국사를 옮겨 이 절을 지었다는 얘기도 전해진다. 이곳은 일반 사찰과 달리 시내 가운데에 있어 누구나 편히 방문할 수 있으며, 템플스테이를 운영하고 있어 편안한 마음으로 절에서 묵으며 몸과 마음을 정화하는 시간을 가지기 좋다. 봄에는 사찰 주위의 무심천에서 벚꽃축제가 열린다.
