This stone pagoda, consisting of a two-layer platform and a three-story main body, is located on the former site of Beopseongsa Temple. The lower layer of the platform is composed of eight stones, and is carved with pillar patterns at its corners and on its facets. The upper layer is engraved with panel decorations of large round patterns. Each core stone and roof stone of the main body is hewn from single stone. The corners of the core stones are clearly engraved with pillar patterns. Each roof stone has a five-tiered cornice and curves swiftly upward at its four edges. Of the upper part of the pagoda, only the finial base remains. Judging from the fact that the pagoda has a two-layered platform and five-tiered cornices, it is believed that it was built during the Unified Silla period. The panel decorations engraved on the platform are noteworthy. The upper part of the pagoda was restored in 1971after being damaged by thieves.
