Gaeamsa Temple is a small, quiet temple built in 634 during the Baekje dynasty. The origin of the name "Gaeam" goes back to 282 BC, when King Mun from the Byeonhan confederacy took refuge here during the revolt of the Jinhan and Mahan confederacies. Under King Mun's command, temples for the new fortress were built on east and west sides of the valley; the western temple was called Gaeam. In 676, the temple was expanded and in 1276, thirty more buildings were raised, expanding it to a grand temple.

A typical example of an aristocrat's house, this residence was built in the 8th year of King Jeongjo's reign in the Joseon dynasty by Kim Myeong-gwan, the 6th generation descendent of Kim Dong-su. Kim Myeong-gwan carefully considered the principles of geomancy when choosing the location of the house, with Cheonghasan Mountain to the back and Dongjingang River to the front, and it took ten years to complete the house. Upon entering the main gate, the house reveals a balanced symmetry with the daecheongmaru (wooden floor hall) at the center. Every component of the house was placed and designed to create a balance with the surroundings and efficient movement within the premises. Because the house contains most of its original form and displays a beautiful harmony with the natural surroundings, it is regarded as valuable research material. Although there may be limitations, viewing is generally allowed.

Naejangsa Temple, cradled within the stunning Naejangsan National Park, is believed to have been established in the year 636, within the Baekje Kingdom. Historically, the site once hosted about 50 large temple buildings. However, they were destroyed during foreign invasions of Korea and the Korean War. Most of the structures standing today were reconstructed later. The temple, along with Geumsansa Temple, stands as one of the emblematic temples of Jeonbuk State. Enveloped by the mountain peaks of Naejangsan, which encircle it like a screen, the temple offers breathtakingly beautiful scenery. This beauty is particularly outstanding during fall when the leaves put on a vivid display of autumn colors. Notable nearby attractions include Baegyangsa Temple, Bangjangsan Mountain, Jangseongho Lake, and Damyangho Lake. Among its significant cultural assets are the Naejangsa Joseon-dongjong bell, among others.
