This stone brick pagoda has been completely preserved along with its pedestal and stupa finial. It was built with bricks made of locally available local limestone on the top of a rock wall, based on belief in the Buddha’s sarira and the conviction that nature’s dwindling strength could only be restored by building a new pagoda or structure. The pagoda was found to contain a stone inscribed with information about the pagoda, along with other relevant materials containing a record of its history and repairs. As this is the Korea’s only stone brick pagoda built to hold a genuine sarira of the Sakyamuni Buddha, it is considered worthy of designation as a national cultural heritage (National Treasure) in recognition of its outstanding historic, artistic, and academic value.
