The Podok Hermitage is a mountain hermitage in Naegang-ri, Kumgang-gun, North Korea. First built during the Koguryo period, it was rebuilt in 1675. The one room building is supported by a single copper pole. The structure is in the middle of a 20-metre-high cliff, leaning against the rock in front of the Podok Grotto. [1]
Since the hermitage's construction in 627, solitary Buddhist monks lived in the structure, looking down at the valley through a hole in the floor. [2]
