South Gate of Kusong Town Castle

South Gate of the Kusong Town Castle is one of historical relics in Kusong City.

It is a gate facing due south and the biggest one among the gates of the Kusong Town Castle. It is also called "Jinnam Pavilion".

The original gate was built along with the Kuju Castle (Kusong Town Castle) in ９９４ and they were rebuilt in １７０２.

The embankment of the gate was built with granite and has an archway.

The two-storeyed pavilion on the embankment is a magnificent building of ３ kans in the front and ３ kans on the side.

The gate has two turtle-shaped foundation stones.

It played an important role in repelling the foreign invaders.

During the Fatherland Liberation War the gate was severely destroyed by the barbarous bombing of the US imperialists, and restored thanks to the policy of the Workers’ Party of Korea on protecting the national heritage.

The gate is preserved well as a national treasure, conveying the patriotic spirit, bravery and the superior architecture of our predecessors.
