This stone pagoda, which was built during the Goryeo Dynasty, stands in front of the main hall at the site of Bowonsa Temple. Although little is known about Bowonsa Temple, which is believed to have been built during the Baekje Dynasty, it has attracted great interest from academic circles ever since the Rock-carved Buddha Triad in Yonghyeon-ri, Seosan (National Treasure No. 84) was found at the site in 1959. The site also contains the stele and stupa built to commemorate State Preceptor Beobin, along with flagpole supports and a stone basin. Judging from the relics found at the site, the temple must have been huge. This five-story stone pagoda was erected on a double-layered stylobate. Two faces of the lower layer of the stylobate are carved with lions, while two faces of the upper layer feature two figures of the Eight Guardian Deities. The Eight Guardian Deities, protectors of the law of Buddha, were a common feature of stone pagodas built during the Unified Silla and Goryeo Periods. The core stone of the first story is decorated with door designs, while each roof stone is thin and wide, and tapers in size smoothly. The wide roof stones are modelled on those of Baekje stone pagodas. The remains of the upper part of the pagoda include the finial base and an iron rod which was used to secure the ornaments of the finial on the very top of the pagoda. This outstanding stone pagoda of the early Goryeo Dynasty is rather formally carved, and gives an impression of gravity and stability.
