Seoaksa Temple - 서악사 (19th c. buildings, 13th c. statue)

Seoaksa is a small temple on the western outskirts of Andong, just a few meters away from Gwanwangmyo shrine. Although charming, I could only find a single reference to it: a brief description in Robert Nilsen's "South Korea Handbook." Nilsen says that the temple dates to the Silla era (7th-10th centuries), which may be true, but the current buildings are modern reconstructions.
