Geumdansa Temple once housed a stone pagoda and a stone Buddha. Although there are no records remaining on the history of the temple, the stone structures and the remains of the temple site can still be found on the mountainside.

The stone pagoda consists of a two-layer stylobate topped with a three-layer tapsinbu (a part of the body of a pagoda). The original sangryunbu (top portion) of the pagoda is no longer in existence. The jidaeseok (foundation stone) is a traditional two-layer stylobate constructed with four sheets of jangdaeseok (rectangular stones). The lower stylobate consists of an uju (side pillar) to the left and right of a myeonseok (side stone) with a taengju (supporting pillar) at the center, reflecting a trend of simplified sculpting methods. The upper stylobate consists of an uju (side pillar) to the left and right of a myeonseok (side stone), with a taengju (supporting pillar) at the center. The three-story tapsinbu (a body part of a pagoda) features a byeolseok (separate stone) propped up at the lower part of the tapsinseok (body stone) on the first floor. To the left and right of the tapsinseok (body stone) on each floor is a low, sculpted uju (side pillar), creating a uniform feel with the ascension of the structure. The okgaeseok on each floor consists of a four-layer okgae support, completed with eaves installed with water run-off rails at regular intervals. The water draining plane of the okgaeseok (roof stone) forms a curve, giving it a smooth feel. The stylobate and tapsinbu (body part of the pagoda) of this three-story stone pagoda reflects the construction techniques of the Unified Silla Period, and the byeolseok (separate stone) at the lower part of the tapsinseok (body stone of the pagoda) on the first floor is a rare example of the stone pagodas constructed in the Seoul and Gyeonggi regions.

The stylistic trend of a byeolseok (separate stone) at the lower part of the tapsinseok (body stone) began during the Late Unified Silla Period and became popular during the Early Goryeo Period, after which it was frequently used in the construction of stone pagodas south-central and southern regions. This particular pagoda was constructed in the Early Goryeo Period and preserves the style of the Late Unified Silla.
