It looks similar, but quiet different Main building in SSang Gye Sa
The name of main building is Dae Woong Jeon

The meaning of Dae Woong Jeon is the palace for Buddha. Literally speaking, Dae means Big or Great, Woong means Male or bear. So Das Woong means Big male, or Buddha.

The Dae Woong Jeon in this temple was amazing. Surrounded scenery was excellent. At first glance I acknowledged this building was super special.

The external appearance showed me this temple was extraordinary.

Let’s look at this building in detail.
At first I’d like show you the poles and the walls of this building.

The color of the poles and the walls was fading away. But fading away color gave me much more impressions on it’s historic aspect.

There is no record when this temple had been built, but there is some record that this temple had been repaired in 1738 AD.

I don’t think any explanation, it is better to show you the Pics. The photos could explain the history and the specialty of this temple.

The corner stone and the pole are the history itself.

You caught some interesting details in your picture like always. Good job and pics @slowwalker !

This is amazing, how long do you think this building has been there? I love history and this is a great place I would like to visit and experience myself. It holds a lot of memories I believe and the stories also would be great. Really nice post

Did you meditate inside like Buddha? :)

Great post, amazing building. Without meditation everyone would feel peace there considering surounding of that place.

the Dae Woong Jeon is an interesting structure that complements its environment.

The poles supporting it are crudely cut tree trunks that have been painted both for preserving the wood from the elements and for concealing the rough cut logs.

The structure is painted in Dancheong colours literally, red and blue/green.

The faded paint is testimony to the palace's age and perhaps to government laxity in restoring and preserving historical sites.

The photographs are stunning, @slowwalker, and I look forward to learning more about this building and its features

Beautiful photos as always! Thanks for taking us on this trip with you. It looks like we are back in synch as I just posted a little while before this.

Really cool post how old is the temple?

Excellent photos slowwalker. Upvoted and followed. Hey, I just finished my 2nd month of milestone at steemit. You might have missed it. Come and take a look at my travels and people I got into steemit. Thanks, Rosa

Beautiful color and details of building! :)
