Buddhist temples in Korea
Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.
The random article for Sunday, 18 October 2026, is Buddhist temples in Korea.
Buddhist temples, called sachal (Korean: 사찰; Hanja: 寺刹), jeol (절), or garam (가람; 伽藍) in Korean, are an important part of Korean architecture. Buddhism was introduced to Korea in the 4th century and the earliest temples were established in Goguryeo in 375. Korean temple architecture developed under the influence of Chinese temples while acquiring distinctive forms over time. Temples of the Three Kingdoms period of Korea had pagoda-and-hall structures while those of Unified Silla had double pagoda structures. Temples expanded in scale and function during the Goryeo dynasty but policies of the Joseon dynasty restricting Buddhism pushed many temples into mountains. Many temples suffered destruction during the Korean War but were subsequently restored. Today, there are approximately 20,000 temples in South Korea and 64 in North Korea. Several Korean temples are designated as UNESCO World Cultural Heritage.
