Temple Site in Gunsu-ri, Buyeo

On January 21, 1963, it was made Historic Site of South Korea No. 44. The site was first discovered in 1935, during the Japanese colonial period, by a Japanese person Ishida Mosaku. The temple's layout was identified and a number of artifacts were found. However, Ishida's research attempted to link the temple to Buddhist temples in Japan; a writer for the Encyclopedia of Korean Culture argued such research was done during the colonial period to justify Korea's colonization. It was excavated from 2005 to 2007.
