Description: | Recreate a piece of Korean history with the majestic Sungnyemun!
Presenting one of South Korea's most treasured monuments – Sungnyemun. Also
known as the Great Southern Gate, this majestic gateway to the South Korean
capital of Seoul is the last remaining of four gateways constructed in the late
14th century to protect the country's capital. In 1962, this impressive Joseon
Dynasty monument was declared South Korea's first national treasure, but in 2008
was almost completely destroyed by a fire. Fortunately, a restoration project,
due for completion in 2012, will return the South Korean people's coveted
treasure to its former glory once again. This LEGO Landmark series
interpretation of Sungnyemun was designed by US architect Adam Reed Tucker in
collaboration with the LEGO design team.
