As it was founded by Doseon(道詵) in the end of Shilla Dynasty and Bojogooksa(普照國師) constructed it in year 1150(Eejong 4), its name was called Seokgaam(釋迦庵) or Seokam(石庵). Since then, in March 1584(Seonjo 17), Geosa, Whaam(華巖) repaired it and it was called Bongseoam(鳳棲庵), and in 1794(Jeongjo 18), Gyeongheon(敬軒) and Gakjoon(覺俊) repaired the main temple and it was called Bonggokda, and the temple dormitory(Yosa) was also constructed simultaneously. In the Spring of 1825(Soonjo 25), Yosa was repaired and, in the other hand, two story tower was newly constructed, and in 1872(Gojong 9), Seobong(瑞峰) extended the rear 10 rooms of Yosachae building, in 1931, it was repaired again.
