Yangju Hoeamsaji near Yangju Okjeong New City is the largest royal temple and a representative Seon Buddhist temple site from the late Goryeo to early Joseon periods. Its founding is estimated to be in the 12th century based on records. In the 14th century, Naong Seonsa restored it following the teachings of Jigong Seonsa, an Indian monk who stayed at Hoeamsa spreading Buddhism during late Goryeo. In the Joseon era, Muhak Daesa resided here, and Taejo Yi Seong-gye visited frequently and stayed here after abdicating as Retired King. Afterwards, Prince Hyoryeong, Queen Jeonghui (wife of Sejo), and Queen Munjeong (wife of Jungjong) carried out large-scale Buddhist constructions, making it the finest temple in the nation. Until the 17th century, it was the center of Joseon royal Buddhism, housing ancestral tablets for kings and queens in a royal shrine, but was later abandoned due to anti-Buddhism policies and unexplained fires shortly after Queen Munjeong's death. Excavations have revealed palace architectural elements and the style of a 13th–14th century East Asian Seon temple, with numerous precious artifacts such as roof tiles and ceramics used exclusively by the royal family. The site contains the steles and tomb pagodas of Jigong, Naong, and Muhak, including the Treasure-designated Muhak Daesa Pagoda and twin lion stone lantern in front, built by Taejo Yi Seong-gye during Muhak’s lifetime, regarded as the finest pagoda masterpieces of early Joseon. The Seongakwangsa stele from 1377 (Goryeo Uwang 3rd year) is a valuable calligraphy piece, damaged in the 1997 Cheonbosan wildfire; the original is kept at the Central Buddhist Museum, with a replica displayed on the original turtle base at the site. From the Hoeamsaji observatory, over 10,000 pyeong of space reveal eight terraces with some 70 temple sites, including about 40 buildings equipped with ondol heating. The entrance road has the Yangju Municipal Hoeamsaji Museum displaying excavated artifacts. It is about a 4-minute drive from Songchu IC. Nearby are Jangheung Tourist Attractions (Cheongam Folk Museum, Ghana Art Center, Duriland, Yangju Jang U-jin Museum of Art, Yangju Min Bok-jin Museum of Art, Songam Space Center, Jangheung Native Botanical Garden), Songchu Amusement Park, Ilyeong Amusement Park, Bukhansan National Park, National ASEAN Forest Recreation Area, Philux Lighting Museum, and Hoeamsaji.
