Gakhwangjeon (hall), also known as Jangyukjeon, has a plaque in front identifying the meaning of "Gakhwang" as "Sakyamuni (Buddha) is twice as tall as people who have average height".

It's not known when the hall was first built but it was renovated in 861 by Monk Daegak. Gakhwangjeon was destroyed during the Imjinwaeran war and was rebuilt in 1660. Renovations occurred in 1760 and again in 1801.

Gakhwangjeon is a small hall with an area in the front and another on the side. The foundation is made of stone and large corner stones support the building's columns. The roof is hip-and-gable having double eaves with three brackets set between the columns.
