How Can We Help?
The Naksansa bronze bell was a temple bronze bell of Naksansa. It was commissioned by Yejong of Joseon in 1469 to honor his late father, King Sejo.[1] It was designated as a national treasure of Korea.
In the 5 April 2005 forest fire, the bell melted and destroyed. The remains of the bell were kept at the Korean National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage.[2]
The Cultural Heritage Administration withdrew it as a national treasure due to its destruction.[3]
In 2006, a replica of the bell was created and reinstalled in Naksansa.[2]
