Located in Dobongsan Mountain, Dobong-gu, Seoul, this temple was founded by Uisang, a monk of Unified Silla during the period of the northern and southern kingdoms.
In 673 (13th year of King Munmu), when Uisang took a religious service at Uisangdae at the northeastern foot of Manjangbong Peak, he built the temple at the present location and called it Okcheonam.
