Haeinsa Woodblock Depositories

The story behind the place

The Janggyeong Panjeon buildings at Haeinsa were designed to protect the Tripitaka Koreana woodblocks. UNESCO describes two long halls and two smaller buildings arranged around a courtyard. The fifteenth-century depositories use ventilation and their relationship to local conditions to moderate temperature and humidity. Their purpose joins architecture with the care of texts carved in the thirteenth century.
