Jeongnimsaji Temple Site, Buyeo

Historic Site · Buyeo, Chungnam

A temple site of the Sabi period of Baekje located in Buyeo, Chungcheongnam-do, where a five-story stone pagoda representative of Baekje stands tall. Slender and well-balanced, as though the style of wooden architecture had been rendered in stone, the pagoda is regarded as a archetype of Korean stone pagodas. It is presumed to have been built as the central temple of the capital after King Seong moved the capital to Sabi. It is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of the Baekje Historic Areas.
