About
Cheongansa in Sejong is said to have been founded around 1900. Roof tile and white porcelain fragments from the mid-Joseon period were found at an old temple site on a slope about 50 m below the current temple, so a temple may have existed here at least by then.
Some think it was Bukhyeolsa, founded in late Baekje, and another account says it was a hermitage of Biamsa. Monks began living here around 1900, and the Dharma hall was rebuilt in 1950 and again at its present location in 1987.
The temple was formerly Seongbulsa of the Taego Order, and in 2002 it was renamed Cheongansa and joined the Jogye Order.
