Located on Yeongchwisan Mountain, Heunaguksa was founded by Bojo Guksa in 1195. Within the compound are other buildings including Wontongjeon, Palsangjeon and Daeungjeon (Main Hall). The temple’s main hall, a Treasure, is open in its structure and equipped with traditional Korean doors. A Buddhist painting named Hubultaenghwa is designated as a Treasure. At the entrance to the temple is a rainbow-shaped stone bridge called Honggyo Bridge,a Treasure, which is widely known as a distinguished work of art. On Yeongchwisan Mountain, azaleas begin to bloom in early April and completely take over the mountain by the end of the month.

During this period, the Mount Yeongchwisan Azalea Festival takes place.
