It was first called Jeongsusa which means clear the body and mind, when it was built by a Priest Hoejeong seonsa in the 8th year of Queen Seondeok (AD 639) and later it was changed the meaning of the name as clean water because fresh water was sprung up at the east side of the temple when it was rebuilt by saint priest Hamheo daesa in 1426.
