位於東區最西部。開鑿於北魏時期(386~534),為平面呈方形的中心柱窟。窟門大部分已坍塌,現已用磚修補。
 窟內寬約5公尺,高4.25公尺,進深約5公尺。中心柱四面各開一垂幔帷帳形龕,龕內塑一佛二弟子二菩薩。東面為彌勒菩薩,餘均為坐佛,其中尤以南面龕內造像保存得最為完整。正面(南面)龕帷帳兩側浮雕有飛天,西面龕楣飾獸首和降龍銜華繩。四面龕內主尊座前兩側均有獅子守護,四面龕下部浮雕有神王像。
 窟內四壁頂端與窟頂相接處,浮雕有和中心柱頂部類似的垂幔、帷帳,帷帳下為千佛。其中北東西三壁雕千佛十一排,千佛中部開龕造像,北、西壁龕內雕一佛二弟子二菩薩,東壁龕內雕一佛二菩薩。
 前壁(南壁)雕千佛三排,其下窟門東西兩側各刻禮佛圖三層,東側禮佛圖殘毀嚴重。南東西三壁底層浮雕一列演奏各種樂器的伎樂,北壁刻劃了七身獸首人身的神祇,其中最東側的一身已毀。窟頂雕方格平棊,除一角有部分損壞外,其餘大部分保存完好。靠中心柱的一周方格內全刻飛天,外面一周浮雕蓮花及化生。窟內地面上殘存有棋格圖案。
