Introduction
This is a common kind of stone pagoda that is 3.7m high. There is a three-storied pagoda body on a two-storied square stylobate. This pagoda is a square shaped three-storied stone pagoda built on a two-storied stylobate, which demonstrates a preservation of the typical Silla style.The upper side of the lower stylobate is steeply carved and at its center there is a two-layer base to support the middle-stone of the three-storied stylobate.The middle stone of the three-storied stylobate consists of four flat stones, two of which have engravings. The stone covering the stylobate is relatively thin and has tilted eaves and a high two-storied base. Each of the roof stones has shallow engravings and the first roof stone is especially high. Each roof stone’s base is made up of four layers and the eaves are parallel with a tilt at the end. The ‘Sangryun’ part of this pagoda has been completely lost. When this pagoda was moved from the old temple site in Ha-ri in 1958, a unique case for the relic bones of a Buddhist priest were found inside the pagoda. However, the usage of this case cannot be known for sure, as there were no contents left in the case.In consideration of its outside structure, we presume this pagoda to have been built in the mid-Goryeo age.This pagoda was moved here from Ha-ri, Yeoju-eup in 1958.
