Jangmun-ri Five-story Stone Pagoda

This is a stone pagoda with a five-story body raised on a single-tier base. Pillar shapes are carved at the four corners of the base and on the body stones of each story. The roof stones have eaves that form a gentle curve and lift slightly at the four corners, with five tiers of supporting blocks on the underside. At the top sits a crowning ornament made up of a dew basin (a supporting plate for the finial) and an overturned-bowl ornament. The first-story body stone is tall and slender, while from the second story upward the stories decrease sharply in height; yet the roof stones remain almost uniform in size, giving the pagoda a somewhat flat, monotonous look. Built in the old territory of Baekje during the Goryeo period, the pagoda follows the Baekje style well in features such as its single-tier base and the graceful curve of its roof stones, capturing the strong regional character of the time.
