There are two granite stupas at the entrance of the temple, but it is not certain whether they were installed at the time of the temple's construction. In the Choson Dynasty, single stupa was in fashion; therefore, the construction date of the pagodas is considered to be somewhat later. The left stupa is relatively complete. The body of it is placed on top of a 30cm high square shaped ground stone and octagonal lower body. Flower patterns are carved on the sides and circumference of the lower portion, and lotus patterns are carved on the foundation.
The right one is placed on top of an octagonal ground stone, there is no decoration and some beads have been detached.
