Originally built in 1397 on a serene pond which reflects its splendour and beauty, the Golden Pavilion is known as a Zen Buddhist temple found in Kyoto, Japan.



The temple was burned down twice during the ?nin War and the present structure dates from 1955. The Golden Pavilion, or Kinkaku, is a three-story building on the grounds of the Rokuon-ji temple complex. The top two stories of the pavilion are covered with pure gold leaf.
