The Cheongpyeongsa Temple is a historic temple originally founded as 'Baeakamseonwon' which was built by a Buddhist priest named 'Yunghyunseonsa' in the 24th year of the King Gwangjong's ruling of Goryeo Kingdom (973).

Later, it was called 'Bohyeonwon' and 'Munsuwon'. After 'Heoeungdang Bowooseonsa' reconstructed the temple on a large scale, it has been called 'Kyungwoonsan Mansuseong Cheongpyeongseonsa' until now.

The elapse of time and the Korean War destroyed 'Munsuwongibi' of Cheongpyeongsa Temple, that bore the writings of Tan Yeon who was one of the 'Sinpumsahyun' (four literary men who were famous for their writings and paintings at that time; Kim Saeng, Tan Yeon, Choe Woo, You Shin), and also 'Geukrakjeon' that used to boast of its grand appearance as a national treasure.

But we can also see foundation stones, stone walls, 4 stone pagodas. And there is a 3 storied stone pagoda that is called Pagoda of Princess owing to a legend.

And, there we find a pond of Goryeo Kingdom style garden that was made by Jinrakgong Lee Ja-Hyun who threw away his government post to live in seclusion, and also a rock where his letters are written.

Mountain Obongsa surrounds the site of this temple in the rear like a back screen, and there is a valley in front. This location of the temple was decided according to the traditional theory of geomancy.
