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.
