The aim of this study is to survey on original figures of the processional space in Dorim Temple, which was inappropriately restored in the past despite the existence remains and historical research data. Booje-roo of Dorim Temple was built in 1677 according to “Emperor Ganghee sixteen years old in late summer…Daeroo sangryang”, but it was demolished with O-domun due to Korean War. Boje-roo was first restored by approaching to the courtyard through the stone stairs and O-domun in 1987. However, it was found that Boje-roo did not have the system of Nuha-jinip, but had the system of Uhoe-jinip that is to approach the inner court through the both sides of the building, which means it had typical features of Sachalmunru that was located against Central Hall as Hwaeom Temple and Taean Temple. This study is extremely meaningful as we tried to restore the processional space of Boje-roo by developing the restoration maintenance plan based on the historical research data of Chosun-gojeokdobo, footstone remains investigation, and reconstruction sang-ryangmun etc. and through professionals` close inspection and years of restoration construction. Although the architectural characteristics could be altered according to the times of the original figures restoration, this study can be a valuable data in case of restoring buildings when it is done without the proper investigation and deep consideration of survey on original figures.
