There stands an octagonal 13-storeyed pagoda in front of the Taeung Hall at the Pohyon Temple in Mt Myohyang.
The pagoda was built with trimmed granite pieces.
It consists of a pedestal with three layers of platforms, tower body and head.
Going upward, the height and width of each storey get narrow, stressing the feeling of its height as well as stability.
The corners of the body are thin, and a frame girdles the face of each part, giving an elegant feeling. The eaves of roofs are curved upward in parallel, and a wind bell hangs on each eave.
The pagoda is preserved as a precious national relic, showcasing the excellent masonry in the medieval period of Korea.
