Yonghwasa Temple (Seo-gu, Daejeon) is a subsidiary temple of Magoksa of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism, currently located in a residential area in the southwestern urban center of Daejeon. This temple was originally built in Yongdong-ri, Duma-myeon, Nonsan-gun, Chungnam Province (now Gyeryong-si) and is said to have been first established by the monk Yeongpohwa during the reign of King Seondeok, the 27th ruler of Silla. When first built, it was called Gwaneumsa. Later, in 1393 (Joseon Taejo 2), it was rebuilt by Monk Muhak but burned down during the Japanese invasions. In the late Joseon period, a nun named Hong Eung-eun rebuilt it on the old site and renamed it Geumnyunsa. In 1946, Monk Kim Gyeongbong renamed it Yonghwasa, and after the main Buddha hall collapsed in 1978, it was rebuilt. The Yonghwasa of that time was a large temple, considered one of the five major temples of Gyeryongsan. However, with the relocation of the Army Headquarters and military facilities to Gyeryongdae, the temple was moved to its current location in 1984. The temple consists of the main Buddha hall, Daeungjeon, and the monks' quarters on the right, with a pagoda standing between them. Daeungjeon is constructed of cement and tiled, with simplified paintings of the Buddha’s life (Palsangdo) on both side walls and the back wall. Inside, the central figure is Shakyamuni Buddha, flanked by Bodhisattvas Daeseji and Gwanseum as attendant statues. There are five hanging scrolls (tanghwa) in Daeungjeon, including the rear wall painting. Yonghwasa (Seo-gu, Daejeon) is accessible via National Road No. 4 Gyebaek-ro and Beolgok-ro, with the Seo Daejeon IC of the Daejeon Southern Ring Expressway nearby. Nearby are Gasuwon Neighborhood Park and Gasuwon Library.
