There was one of the oldest wooden Building in Korea in Soo Deok Sa Temple.
It was main building of this temple Dae Woong Jeon.
It is believed that this building had been built 800 years ago.
At first glance, you could become aware of long history of this Building.

The color was faded away. I asked why there was no paining colors(Dan Cheong), but I could not get answer from anybody.
So I took some photos of building.
