Three-story Stone Pagoda of Bukjangsa Temple

This pagoda originally stood in Inpyeong-dong, Sangju. Its scattered pieces, which had lain near the summit of Uamsan Mountain, were first moved to Yongheungsa Temple for safekeeping, and then in 1998 relocated to their present site within the grounds of Bukjangsa Temple, where the pagoda was newly restored and re-erected under its current name, the Three-story Stone Pagoda of Bukjangsa Temple. It takes the form of a three-storey body set on a two-tiered foundation; only part of the original foundation, one body stone from the third storey, and three roof stones had survived. Pillar shapes are carved onto the stones of the upper and lower foundations and onto the body stones. The roof stones have a gently sloping rain-drip surface with the four corners slightly upturned, and the underside of each is carved with five tiers of supports. Judging from the stylistic features of the surviving foundation and roof stones, the pagoda is thought to have been a typical stone pagoda of the Unified Silla period.
