Hyakusai-ji Temple, one of 'the three mountains in Eastern Biwa Lake,' was totally destroyed by a fire caused by Nobunaga ODA's army, and Kongorin-ji Temple was also damaged but the existing main hall and three-storied pagoda escaped the fire thanks to efforts by its priests.
天正元年（1573年）、織田信長の兵火で湖東三山の1つである百済寺は全焼し、金剛輪寺も被害を受けるが、現存の本堂、三重塔は寺僧の尽力で焼失をまぬがれたという。 |
