Bongjeongsa Temple is believed to have been built in 672 by the Great Buddist Monk Uisang. However, other documents seem to state that Neungin Daedeuk, a disciple of Monk Uisang, established the temple. During the Korean War, many documents related to the temple were destroyed, so much of the history has been lost. In 1972, while reconstruction work was being done on Geungnakjeon Hall, records were discovered stating the hall was repaired in 1363. This discovery gave concrete evidence that Geungnakjeon Hall is the oldest wooden building in the nation.

Jukheon Old House is an old house near Bongjeongsa Temple in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do. Originally built in 1886 by independence activist Kim Ga-jin, it was later acquired by Jukheon Lee Hyeon-chan and until recently was used as a family gathering place for jaesa ancestral rites. There are three 2-person guestrooms (Jukheon Gallery Room, Seojae Room and Elizabeth Room) and one four-person room (Jukheon-dong Farm Room). Visitors can explore the old thatched millhouse with its ancient treadmill, or enjoy a walk along Queen Elizabeth Road to Bongjeongsa Temple. A simple complimentary breakfast is provided.
