Geungnakjeon (Hall) is in the style of the last years of the Joseon period (1392-1910). The temple, however, dates from the Three Kingdoms period (57B.C.-A.D.668) when it was built as a branch of Songgwangsa Temple. It is said to have been burnt down during the 1597 Japanese Invasion and to have been reconstructed in 1604.
Geungnakjeon has a hipped-and-gabled roof with eaves of the roof supported by clusters of brackets. This multi-bracketing is typical of late-Joseon architecture.
Records show that the building was either repaired or rebuilt in 1846, the 12th year of the reign of Joseon's King Heonjong(1849-63).
Geumtapsa is at the base of Mount Cheondeungsan in Goheung county originally dates to the 7th century. One of the more prominent featuers is Natural Monument no. 239, the nutmeg forest that surrounds the temple.
