九溪古寺始建于唐贞观八年（公元634年），由开国元勋尉迟恭监建，原名九峰寺，因右侧有一泓溪水，九曲回环，绕寺流入金井河，后改名“九溪寺”，距今已有千年历史。

古刹虽历史悠久，声名远扬，但时过境迁，几经兴废，古刹在战火中几乎被夷为平地。后因金井河改道，致使古刹彻底被毁，难以复原。古刹虽已不复存在，但当地善男信女感怀九溪古寺的辉煌历史，不断有重建古刹的呼声。1984年，当地信士因陋就简在原寺后山建平房一间，立观音佛像，朝拜者络绎不绝。

2003年，当地18名信士共同筹建观音殿，并请著名金石书画家李立题写“观音阁”。2006年，经湖南省宗教局批准，九溪寺确定为“宗教活动场所”，正式对信教群开放。

2010年10月，在长沙县佛教协会的推荐下，礼请湖南省佛教协会办公室副主任、湖南佛学院讲师通振法师主持寺院的日常工作。应广大信教群众需求，2011年通振法师发心重建九溪古寺,并礼请中国佛教协会副会长、湖南省佛教协会会长圣辉大和尚为九溪古寺题写寺名。
