According to historical records, the seven-storeyed pagoda in Hyonhwa Temple was erected in 1020.

At present, it stands in the Koryo Museum.

It consists of a one-tiered platform, a seven-storeyed tower body and a head.

It is 8.64m high, and 3.9m long in one side of the platform. It belongs to a comparatively large pagoda in the period of Koryo dynasty.

There are three pillars on each side of the platform, which are closed with trimmed stones in five layers and thick stones are put on them. This is a rare style of pagoda.

The corrugated curves of eaves and corner columns are also unusual.

Buddhist images carved on all faces of seven storeys are very exquisite and excellent.

This pagoda is a precious relic of national value showing the pagoda architecture and its process of developments.
