After
this temple was built in the 23rd year of king Gyeongdeok( 764),
it had become a big temple by the support of many kings after king
Gwangjong in Gorye dynasty. A story has been delivered that all
cultural assets remaining were created by a stonecutter, Godal.
And he had contributed everything for his job even not knowing his
family¡¯s starvation to reach death, then he became a monk by himself
after completing all cultural assets and finally realized the core
of Buddhism. That¡¯s the reason why this temple was called as Godalsa.
In the temple, There are excellent cultural assets
remaining besides Godalsajibudo( No 4 Natural treasure). The Guibo
and Isu( No 6 Treasure) of Hyejintabbi of Wonjong Daesa is the tower
describing his life, and shows the method of Budo and sculpture
with beautiful and luxurious sculpture in Gorye dynasty. Besides
that, there are Godalsajiseokbuljwa (No 8 Treasure) and Ssangsaja
stone light ( No 282 Treasure) that was moved to National Center
Museum.
Through the survey performed recently, the size
of temple is possibly assumed by the site of buildings and the site
of Geumdang.
