상세설명

신라 문무왕 때(661∼681) 원효(元曉)가 창건하였다. 원효가 당나라의 승려 1천 명에게 천성산에서 《화엄경》을 설법할 때 낙수사(落水寺)라는 이름으로 창건하였는데, 당시 승려들이 이 절 옆에 있는 폭포에서 몸을 씻고 원효의 설법을 들었다 하여 이름을 낙수사라고 하였다. 또 산 이름은 본래 원적산이었으나 1천 명이 모두 득도하여 성인이 되었다고 해서 천성산(千聖山)이라고 바뀌었다고 한다. 원효는 산내에 89암자를 지어 1천 명의 대중을 가르쳤으며, 당시 각 암자에 흩어져 있는 대중을 모으기 위해 큰 북을 사용했다고 한다. 그 북을 매달아 두었던 집북재와 《화엄경》을 설법하던 화엄벌 등이 남아 있다.
임진왜란 때 불에 타 수백년 동안 절터만 남아 있다가, 1910년대에 통도사 승려 법화(法華)가 중창하였다. 절 이름 홍룡(虹龍)은 폭포 이름에서 유래한다. 홍룡폭포는 제1폭포와 제2폭포가 있는데, 옛날에 천룡(天龍)이 폭포 아래에 살다가 무지개를 타고 하늘로 올라갔다는 전설이 전한다. 1970년대 말 우광(愚光)이 주지로 부임한 뒤 중건과 중수를 거듭하여 오늘에 이른다. 현존하는 건물은 대웅전·종각·선방·요사채 등이 있고, 폭포 옆에 옥당(玉堂)이 있다.
