Cheongnyongsa Temple Site is a Goryeo-era temple site located in Oryang-dong, Sotae-myeon, Chungju. The founding date and founder are unknown. Within the temple site are artifacts such as the Stupa of State Preceptor Bogak at the Cheongnyongsa Temple Site in Chungju (National Treasure No. 197), the Stone Lantern with Lion in front of the Stupa of State Preceptor Bogak at the Cheongnyongsa Temple Site in Chungju (Treasure No. 656), the Chungju Cheongnyongsa Temple Wijeonbi Stele, and the Stele of the Stupa of State Preceptor Bogak at the Cheongnyongsa Temple Site in Chungju. These show that it was a temple site where the Dharma lamp continued from the late Goryeo period to the early Joseon period. These artifacts are important materials for understanding Buddhist art, and in particular, the Stupa of State Preceptor Bogak at the Cheongnyongsa Temple Site in Chungju is a cultural heritage of such high art-historical value that it is the only stone stupa from the Joseon period designated as a national treasure.
