LEGO 21016 Sungnyemun

Presenting one of South Korea's most cherished 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 gates built 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 it was almost completely destroyed by fire. Fortunately, a restoration project, scheduled to be completed in 2012, will return the South Korean people's coveted treasure to its former glory. This interpretation of Sungnyemun's LEGO Landmark series was designed by American architect Adam Reed Tucker in collaboration with the LEGO design team.
