The Northern Watergate, also known as Hwahongmun, was built atop Suwoncheon Stream, the main stream flowing through Hwaseong Fortress.It has seven stone arches, with the middle arch being wider than the others to emphasize the center of the entire structure. On each end of the bridge is an octagonal stone pillar topped with a statue of a mythical, dragon-like creature called imugi in Korean. Atop the arches, a stone bridge was built so that people could cross the stream, and a wooden pavilion was added on the top of the bridge. This watergate was destroyed by floods and rebuilt several times. The current structure was built in 1932, and its wooden doors were repaired in 2016.
