Luohan Yuan Temple Twin Pagodas

羅漢院雙塔

江蘇蘇州

又稱姑嫂塔。位於江蘇省蘇州市羅漢院。始建於北宋太平興國七年(982),歷代多次維修。羅漢院始建於唐咸通二年(861),稱般若院,五代十國吳越(907~978)時改名羅漢院,清咸豐十年(1860),毀於戰火,僅存雙塔及正殿遺址。一九九六年雙塔及正殿遺址列為中國「全國重點文物保護單位」。
 雙塔形式、結構、體量相同,東為「舍利塔」,西為「功德舍利塔」,皆為八角七層樓閣式磚塔,通高約34公尺。塔身第二層以上施塔檐、平座,以斗栱和菱角牙子磚、拔檐磚各三層相間挑出承托。各層皆有轉角倚柱、闌額,四面闢壼門,另四面為直櫺窗。塔室無塔心柱,除第五層為八角形外,各層皆為方形,方向逐層錯閃45°,門窗方向也隨之上下位置交錯,此形制稱「錯角結構」,可避免塔身縱向裂開;塔室內有木梯可供攀登。第六、七層中央立剎杆,下端以大柁承托,支撐高達8.7公尺、占塔高四分之一的鐵鑄塔剎。該塔塔檐微翹、翼角輕舉及比例極高的塔剎,使雙塔塔形顯得高挑纖秀,體現江南建築風格。
