Three-story Stone Pagoda in Ganbang-ri, Yecheon

This stone pagoda has a three-storey body raised upon a two-tiered base. The composition of the base and the carving technique of the roof stones display the style of the late Silla period, making it a highly refined pagoda representative of the Silla stone pagodas of this region. According to a tradition handed down in this village, a great temple with three pagodas once stood here, though no documentary evidence confirms this. However, around the pagoda both pagoda members and roof-tile fragments can be seen, and a pure gold Buddha statue and a bronze Buddha statue are also said to have been found nearby, suggesting that this was the site of a temple that once had further stone pagodas besides the one that survives today.
