Sujeongsa Temple is a temple located in Sujeong-ri, Geumseong-myeon, Uiseong-gun, and is said to have been founded by Master Uisang. Master Uisang is said to have named it ‘Sujeongsa Temple’ because clear water like crystal flows from between the dense pine forests in the deep valley of Mt. Geumseong. It was completely destroyed during the Japanese invasions of Korea and was rebuilt. Everything except Daegwangjeon was lost in a fire in 1835. Afterwards, it was rebuilt in its current location, above the old temple site. At the site of the old temple beneath the current Sujeongsa Temple, there is a large dam and the original stone pagoda has been preserved. Over the course of six years since 1965, Yosachae, Wolyeongru, Gyeokoe Seonwon, Yeongji, and Embankment were built. The main buildings within the temple include Daegwangjeon, the main shrine of the temple, Yeongdang Shrine where the portraits (portraits) of past monks are enshrined, Gyeokoe Seonwon, Wolyeongru, and Sannyeonggak.
