Yeongguksa Temple was probably built during the late Unified Silla period. State Preceptor Wongak likely reconstructed it in the 12th century (reign of King Myeongjong of Goryeo). During the reign of King Gojong of Goryeo, the king ordered An Jong-pil to rebuild the pagoda, the stupa, and the main Buddhist hall and to name the temple Gukcheongsa. Later, King Gongmin renamed it Yeongguksa. This pagoda is located in front of Daeungjeong Hall, with its two-tier stylobate, three-tier main body, and ornamental top completing it. The four sides of the upper and lower stylobates have patterns. In particular, the patterns on the upper stylobate are so wide that they even reach the corners. Noteworthy is the fact that the four corners of the top stone on the stylobate are slightly raised. The main body has pillars engraved on each of its corners. The front of the body stone on the first floor is engraved with a door that also has a lock and a doorknob. The roof stone has a gentle slope, and its four corners are sharply raised. It also has four-tier lower pedestals. Considering its simple stylobate and main body, this pagoda was probably built during the late Unified Silla period when sculptures became smaller and simpler.
