Today, the temple is gone; aside from the building foundations, the twin three-story stone pagodas, typical Silla design, are the only remaining structures. Even then, the pagodas had lost their spires long ago, and metal spikes serve as lightning protection. Additionally, much of former temple land has been used for agricultural and residential purposes for centuries.
These pagodas, 13.4 meters tall, are designated as National Treasure No. 112. The temple site itself is Historical Site No. 31.

The eastern pagoda was similarly restored in 1997.| Camera location |  | View this and other nearby images on: OpenStreetMap |  |
