Unmunsa
Unmun-sa () is a Buddhist temple located on the southernmost part of the Taebaek Mountains in Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea. It was built in the 21st year of the reign of King Jinheung (AD 560) . Around the end of the Silla Kingdom, the temple was expanded and renamed as Taejakgap-sa (, "Great Magpie Hillside Temple"), but its name was changed to its current Unmansa (, "Cloud Gate Temple") in the 20th year of the reign of King Taejo of Goryeo, Taejo (AD 937). Parts of the temple were destroyed down during the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592–98), invasion of the Korean peninsula (1592–98) by the Japanese general Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Unmunsa is a temple of the Jogye Order. In 1950, it became the largest training center for nuns (kor. ''Bhikkhuni, biguni'') in South Korea.
