The hexagonal multi-stored stupa, Yukgak Tachung Soktap, is made of slate where most Korean stupas are made of granite. Treasure #27.
Detailed lotus-shaped stone pedestal (base for a statue), Sokyon Tae, dating to the 10th century cut from one solid piece of stone. Treasure #23.
Geumsansa Seokdeung (Stone Lamp), or lamp of enlightenment, was used to light the front of the worship hall. The lamp is made of granite and measures 3.9m/12.8ft high. Dating back to the Goryeo period, was moved to this location in 1922. The square base is carved with a double lotus pattern. The octagonal base has straight lines carved along the length to represent the cosmos. The upper section of the lamp is carved with the fully bloomed lotus. Treasure #828.
Daejangjeon was rebuilt in 1635, from an octagonal wooden pagoda, and moved to the present site in 1922. It is now used as a hall to enshrine the images of Sakyamuni Buddha and his two ablest disciples, Kasyapa and Ananda. The single-story building, with 3 room long sides, has a hipped and gabled roof, the most elaborate style of the period. Simple as it is in structure, this small, modified building is of great significance to the study of wooden architecture including wooden pagodas of the era. Treasure #827
Noju (Geumsansanoju - Noju of Geumsansa Temple), lies between the temple's two buildings, Daejeokgwangjeon Hall and Daejanggak Hall. It is not known what the relic was for. Noju is believed to date from the early Goryeo period or the 10th century. Treasure #22
Myeongbujeon houses the statues of Chijang (Ksitigarbha) Boddhisattva and Myeongbu Siwang (Ten Lords of the Other World). The hall was restored in 1857 and was moved to its present location in 1972. In the center ov the pavilion stands the statue of Chijang Boddhisattva. On each side stand the statues of Myeongbu Siwang.
