Manggyeongam Hermitage

Manggyeongam Hermitage is the 74th traditional temple, located on the slopes of Yeongjangsan Mountain, which offers the best panoramic view of Seoul from Seongnam. It is known as a place where kings personally visited from the late Goryeo to early Joseon periods to pray for the nation's prosperity and the well-being of the people.

Upon ascending to Manggyeongam, you can see the Manggyeongam Rock-carved Seated Buddha, designated as a Gyeonggi-do Tangible Cultural Heritage. This rock-carved Buddha is engraved on the cliff of Manggyeongam Hermitage. Although the carving technique is rough and lacks many elements that a Buddha statue should possess, it is a late Joseon period rock-carved Buddha enshrined in a place of Buddhist historical significance, holding documentary value.
