Mitasa Temple (Eumseong)

Mita Temple is a branch temple of Beopjusa Temple of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism, founded in the early Goryeo period. In 1965, a wooden tile-roofed Buddhist hall with 8 bays was built, and later it was expanded to construct the Geungnakjeon Hall in the dapo-style double-eave hip-and-gable roof form with 3 bays in front and 3 bays on the side. To its west, the Samseonggak Hall was built in the double-eave gable roof form with 3 bays in front and 1 bay on the side. In 1980, to the west in front of the Geungnakjeon Hall, the Seonsil was built in the jusimpo-style double-eave hip-and-gable roof form with 7 bays in front and 2.5 bays on the side, and in front of the Geungnakjeon Hall, a three-story stone pagoda and monks' quarters were built.
Inside the Geungnakjeon Hall built in 1979, a seated statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, a seated statue of Amitabha Buddha, a seated statue of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and a seated statue of Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva are enshrined, and a back-figure painting and a painting of the guardian deities are hung. Inside the Samseonggak Hall, there is one seated stone statue of Amitabha Buddha, approximately 90 cm tall, presumed to be a work from the late Goryeo period, and on the rock wall to the west of the access road about 700 m away, a rock-carved standing Buddha statue, approximately 405 m tall, presumed to be a work from the late Goryeo period, is inside a protective pavilion.
