Mireukdaewon Stone Temple Site stretches from North to South on a basin in the Haneuljae Pass, which connects Chungcheongbuk-do and Gyeongsangbuk-do . It is said that Mauitaeja, the last prince of the Silla Kingdom, had a dream one night as he was traveling to Geumgangsan Mountain where the Goddess Gwanseeumbosal instructed him to erect a statue of Buddha. As a result, he built a temple to honor the goddess’ wish at the current site of Mireuk-ri. Although the temple site has been invaded multiple times, the statue of Buddha has remained intact for over 1,000 years.
