Bangmulgwan Hall Stone Pagoda

Located in the front yard of the Buyeo National Museum, this stone pagoda would originally have had five storeys, but only three remain today. The foundation stone has been lost, so the platform of the first storey rests directly on the ground, with the three-storey body of the pagoda set above it. Pilaster-like corner posts are carved on each body stone of both the platform and the storeys above. The roof stones have gently curving eaves and roof slopes, and traces remain at the four corners where wind-bells were once hung. Eave-support tiers are carved beneath the roof stones, decreasing from five tiers on the first storey to four on the second and three on the third. At the top, a finial sits on a square support stone. Built during the Goryeo period, the pagoda is incomplete, but the refined craftsmanship of each part makes it an elegant work.
