history

The Podok Hermitage of the Phyohun Temple located in Kumgang County, Kangwon Province, stands halfway up a precipice in Manphok Valley in Inner Kumgang, supported by only a 7.3-metre-high copper pillar.

It looks like a three-storey building as it was built by covering a single-storey gabled house with a 3.35-metre-long facade with a ridge roof and a shed roof in layers.
