Situated in a wide mountain basin, Daeheungsa Temple displays a unique layout. Geumdangcheon Stream runs through the grounds, dividing the buildings into North and South Precincts.

Set farther back behind the South Precinct are the Pyochungsa Shrine, dedicated to Seosan Daesa, and Daegwangmyeonjeon Hall within Donggukseonwon Temple. Among the treasures of the temple is the Rock‑carved Seated Buddha at Bungmireugam Hermitage, designated as a National Treasure.
