Heungnyunsa
Gyeongju, South Korea
Heungnyunsa (Hanja) was an ancient Buddhist temple that was recreated in Gyeongju, South Korea. It was the first Buddhist temple of Silla. It was built in 527 (Korean calendar) and was destroyed and abandoned some time during the Joseon period (1392–1897). On January 21, 1963, it was designated Historic Site of South Korea No. 15. Its location is disputed and not known with certainty. A modern temple with the same name was recreated in the 1980s on the area believed to belong to the temple. However, a roof tile later discovered in that area has led some scholars to argue that it actually hosted a different former temple Yŏngmyosa.
