  Bomunsa Temple is known to have been erected by Hoejeong in the year 635 (Queen Seondeok, 4th year of reign). It came to be widely known in 649 (Queen Jindeok, 3rd year of reign) when fishermen fished out 22 stone statues of the Buddha and his disciples from the sea and enshrined them in a chamber. There are three arched gates at the entrance and a semilunar-shaped pedestal inside the natural cave as well as a column with 21 shrines in which statues of the Buddha are enshrined. These shrines have been designated as Regional Tangible Asset No. 57. In 1928, a statue of Gwaneum (Maae seated stone statue of the Buddha) was erected, over 10 meters tall and 4 meters wide, which was designated as Regional Tangible Asset No. 65.
