Three-story Stone Pagoda in Aju-dong, Geoje

This is a three-storey stone pagoda located in Ayang-ri. In 1935, a man named Park Hak-jung discovered it while ploughing a field at a place called Tapgol, and had it set upright. At the time of discovery the foundation and the finial were already missing, and only the three-storey pagoda body survives today — and even then, the body stones of the second and third storeys were newly made when the pagoda was moved and re-erected. Pillar shapes are carved at each corner of the body stones, and the undersides of the roof stones carry four-tiered supports. The first-storey body stone and the third-storey roof stone are certainly original to the pagoda, and the carving of the corner pillars on the body stones and the support tiers on the roof stones is of fine quality.
