Gwangdeoksa Temple

광덕사

Walnut-tree birthplace behind the walnut cake

Address

Gwangdeoksa-gil, Gwangdeok-myeon, Cheonan

The walnut tree at the entrance is Natural Monument No. 398. A stone marker tells how Yu Cheong-sin brought saplings from Yuan China in the Goryeo era. Historians disagree on the details, but this is where the Cheonan walnut cake story begins. Mt. Gwangdeoksan rises behind the temple for an easy hike.
