The Songgwangsa Temple was built by Buddhist monk Doui in 867, the 7th year of the reign of King Gyeongmun. Bojo (one of the State Preceptor) asked his students to rebuild the destroyed temple in the middle of the Goryeo Dynasty, but it wasn’t rebuilt until 1622, the 14th year of the reign of King Gwanghaegun. Hasadang Hall, a place for monks to meditate was built on higher level in the back of Daeungjeon Hall. It measures three kan (a unit of measurement referring to the distance between two columns) at the front and two kan at the sides. The two rooms on the left have floor heating system and the one on the right was used as a kitchen. The roof is counter-wedged, and its roofline is similar to a walking man's legs when viewed from the side. The pieces of wood called gongpo that adorn the top of columns supporting the weight of roof were used only on the top of roof. The kitchen has a rectangular opening to the roof as an air ventilator, and this feature is not present in other buildings. This is an important piece of Korean Buddhist architecture that reflects the life of the monk during the early Joseon Dynasty. The Hasadang Hall building is a type that can be observed from average houses in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. This is a cultural asset evaluated as a valuable source for studying the housing style of the Joseon Dynasty.
