Myeongjusa Temple Stupa Group

A stupa symbolizes the tomb of a monk and is a place where the remains or sarira are enshrined. In this stupa field at Myeongjusa Temple, a total of 12 stupas are located, and 4 stele are also preserved together. Of the 12 stupas, 7 have a three-tiered base with a body stone and a roof stone, and except for the square base stone and the round body stone, each part forms an octagon. The remaining 5 have a bell-shaped body stone placed on a supporting stone, with a large flower-bud-shaped finial at the top. The 4 stele have a structure in which the stele body is erected on a low square base with a roof stone. Originally they were scattered in various places, but in 1994 they were all gathered and preserved at the current location.
