Molraemulmaeulbangsatap No. 2

A bangsatap is a stone tower built where an ominous sign appeared in a particular direction from the village, or where the geomantic energy of the land was considered weak; it is an object of folk belief raised to keep out impurity and evil and so bring peace to the village. This bangsatap stands on the western side of a pair of such towers facing each other east and west along the coastal road near Eongmul, in Molraemul Village. It is 424–250 cm high; unlike the eastern tower, which has a bird-shaped stone on its summit, this tower has none.
