Sungnyemun 21016 | Architecture | LEGO

Box Condition 8.5/10

Presenting one of South Korea's most treasured monuments – the 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. Though it was almost completely destroyed by a fire in 2008, a meticulous restoration project completed in 2012 returned this coveted treasure to its former glory.

This LEGO® Landmark series interpretation of Sungnyemun was designed by US architect Adam Reed Tucker in collaboration with the LEGO design team, bringing this historical marvel to life in brick form.
