West Coast Exchange, North Korea Watcher Conference, Sept. 2026

A granite tower built in the early period of the Koryo dynasty (918-1392) stands in Haeju City, South Hwanghae Province.

The tower on the square plane consists of a two-tiered pedestal, a five-storey tower body and a top.

One side of the lower pedestal is 2.16m long, and the pagoda is 4.63m high in total.

The five-storey tower body and roofing top harmonize with each other in a certain ratio to give a sense of balance and stability.

The first, second and third storeys have five-tiered eaves, while the fourth and fifth storeys have four- and three-tiered eaves, respectively. Every corner of the storeys has traces of iron rings to which wind bells were believed to be attached.

The pagoda looks simple and neat, with each part well balanced in good formation.

The five-storey pagoda in Haeju is a precious cultural heritage item featuring the stone towers in the early Koryo dynasty.
