Buyeo Jeongnimsa Temple Site

Hello, Jeongnimsa Temple Site, located in the center of Buyeo-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, is a Baekje temple built during the Sabi period (538-660) when Baekje moved its capital to Buyeo.

Jeongnimsa Temple Site, along with Iksan Mireuksa Temple Site Stone Pagoda, is said to be the representative stone pagoda of the Baekje period, and there are 8.33m high Jeongnimsa Temple Site Five-story Stone Pagoda and a gabled roof wooden building and lotus pond built in 1993 to protect the seated stone Buddha of the Goryeo Dynasty.

Five-story Stone Pagoda at Jeongnimsa Temple Site

The five-story stone pagoda of Jeongnimsa Temple Site, which was built in the center of Buyeo to show off its elegant beauty, has a story about the collapse of Baekje. In 660, Baekje ended with the fall of Baekje Sabidoseong by the Nadang Allied Forces.

The Tang Dynasty’s armed Sojeongbang, who won the war, carved the word “large Baekje Monument” on the first floor of the pagoda to commemorate his victory over Baekje, and was called the Pyeongje Tower, meaning that the Tang Dynasty conquered Baekje.

Therefore, the name of the temple was proved to be Jeongnimsa Temple, which existed in the 19th year of King Hyeonjong’s reign (1028), and it is said that it was called the five-story stone pagoda at Jeongnimsa Temple.
