thumb|right|Main hall (Daeungjeon) thumb|right|Bell Pavilion thumb|right|Pagoda Donghwasa (), also Donghwa Temple, is a Buddhist temple of the Jogye Order in Dong District, Daegu, South Korea. The temple is located on the south side of the mountain Palgongsan in the north of the city.
== History == Donghwasa was originally established as Yugasa in 493 by Ven. Geukdal. According to the Donghwasa Record Monument, erected in 1931, it was renamed by Patriarch Ven. Simji in 832. The name "Donghwa (桐華; literally 'Korean paulownia flower')" came from a legend that the Korean paulownia bloomed even in winter at that time so people regarded it as an auspicious sign.
