Palsangjeon

This magnificent, wooden, five-storey and highly photogenic pagoda is the only one of its kind in the country. The pagoda was first built in 553 but burned down at the end of the same century. The name (in hanja it is 捌相殿) means Hall of the Eight Phases, relating to eight stages in the life of Buddha. The entire edifice was rebuilt in the late 1960s.
