As soon as passing through the pavilion for the bell, there was a gate of Haetal-mun, the last gate to Daewung-jeon. Suddenly a monk appeared and beaten a wood block. I didn’t notice the meaning of beating the wood block. Some one explained that the sound meant it’s the time for lunch.
In this small temple, you can take a lunch at the temple, when you arrive in time.
Gaesim-sa was relatively small size of the temple. But it have preserved its building until now without any destruction. The first building I saw as Daewung-jeon serving for Shakamuni Buddha.
The pagoda in front of Daewung-jeon seems to be made in Goryeo dynasty. It shows typical style of Goryeo kingdom.
I was walking around Daewung-jeon. Its corner stone and the foundation informed me this hall could be built earlier than I read in the board.
The foundation looked to be influenced from earlier style of construction. The foundation of Daewung-jeon was similar to that of Shilla dynasty. What could explain this gap of 500 years ?
Actually this temple was built in the era of the last king of Baekae dynasty. Though the history, it had been repaired several time up until now. But there is a strong possibility that the stone parts seemed to be used in repairing the temple. If so, the architectural style of Baekjae looked as same as that of Shilla dynasty.
I took the pics of this hall, and the pattern of the window was so excellent.
One thing I also noticed while reading about Gaesim Sa Temple! Unlike most of other temples you have shown before, this temple buildings are more colorful and attractive. I don't know it meaning something or not! But I could notice that thing while watching the photography of the temple! Nice photography and information! I wish one day STEEM will let me a chance to visit this temple! Thank you!@slowwalker,
Cheers~
Striking colors that show well in your photography, @slowwalker.
It seems with temples that we are forever repairing the foundations. We are playthings of time and entropy.
I also loved the lattice pattern of the window - as Keats wrote, a thing of beauty is a joy forever...
Perhaps that's how we defeat time and mortality.
Daewung-jeon Hall of Gaesim-sa Temple. I never seen or heard before beating the wood block. Yep it's small temple than previous. Seemed Gaesim-sa Temple tourist attractive location. Pagoda style same condition in Korea. Also window and roof patterns so impressive to me. Absolutely mind relaxation photo clicks you found in Gaesim-sa Temple. Thank you for explained.@slowwalker, We can get some meanings from

This temple is so colourful and different. Usually, you present more tranquil and plain structures.
But I like all of them.
Great work.
Very nice captures. Sharing a meal with the monks would be an interesting experience, and something I would likely seek out, if I were there. I wonder if they allow photography at mealtime?
I am interested in the name of 解脫門. Does it mean you can relief when you stay and worship in the temple? or it means you will relief after death?
Great story, thanks for continuing your daily publication. The pattern on the grids really deserves special attention.
It is a beautiful place has many colors! the back part of the temple is incredible, the green color is a beautiful contrast.
All pictures are beautiful across with blue sky. Interesting in the one sentence ‘you can take a lunch at the temple, when you arrive in time’ 😊

I love the way I feel as though I'm 'looking up' at the temple. Dramatic shot, I love it ❤ seriously, wow! This is a great picture skill you have, and I love all photographs! The temple look so cool and peaceful.
Very beautiful among many temples @slowwalker because it is colorful and was built several times over which means it is well kept by the monks who stays in it.
