This is a typical pagoda with the three-story main body supported by a single-layer stylobate. It is located far from the present site of Maneosa Temple, but the wide ground behind the pagoda seems to have been the site of the Buddhist sanctuary. Thus, the pagoda’s original position is believed to be the current location. The main body consists of core stones and roof stones each hewn from a single stone. All corners of the core stones are engraved with pillar patterns. The roof stones have three-tier cornices. Of the upper part of the pagoda, the finial, which is Boju (decoration resembling a lotus bud), is placed on top but seems to have been added at a later time. Although the foundation stone of the pagoda is revealed, and the roof stones are slightly damaged, the pagoda exudes stability with the well-arranged structure. The pagoda is assumed to have been built during the mid-Goryeo Dynasty judging from the structure and style of each part, although some parts appear to have traces of degeneration.
