Yongcheonsa is a branch temple of Baekyangsa, the head temple of the 18th district of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism. It was founded by Haengeun in the first year of King Mu of Baekje (600). The temple's name comes from a spring called Yongcheon located below the stairs of the Daeungjeon hall. This spring is said to connect to the Yellow Sea and is associated with a legend that a dragon lived there and ascended to heaven. During the Joseon Dynasty, the temple was restored under Kings Sejo and Myeongjong and grew into a large temple. According to the Yongcheonsa Daeungjeon hyeonpan dancheong document, at its peak, around 3,000 monks resided there. Artifacts include the Yongcheonsa stone lantern and sundial. The stone lantern, designated as a Jeollanam-do Tangible Cultural Property in 1981, is 2.38m tall and was made in 1685 during King Sukjong's 11th year. The sundial, created around the same time as the stone lantern, was lost during the Korean War but excavated from a mound within the temple grounds in 1980. Originally a perfect square measuring 14 cm high and 39 cm on each side, half of it is now broken off, but the portion corresponding to the daylight hours from myosi to yusi remains intact and is reportedly still usable.
