Located on the north side of Hwangryongsa Temple, Bunhwangsa Temple was the home of many Silla monks, such as Wonhyo and Jajang.

It was founded in 634 A .D. (In the 3rd year of Queen Seondeok), and the monk Jajang had served as chief monk there after studying in Dang Dynasty China.

It is the very temple where Wonhyo wrote many books and brought Buddhism to the common people.
