Three-story Stone Pagoda of Gapjangsa Temple

This pagoda stands in the courtyard in front of the main hall of Gapjangsa Temple. It has a three-storey body set on a single-tier foundation. Pillar-shaped carvings decorate the foundation and the body stones of each storey. The corners of the roof stones curve up slightly, and the underside of each roof stone carries three tiers of supporting brackets. At the top, a dew basin (the base of the finial) and an overturned-bowl-shaped ornament are carved from a single stone to form the finial. The stonework is not refined, and the foundation has been reduced to a single tier; these features suggest the pagoda was built in the Goryeo period.
