Monument for the 40th Anniversary of King Gojong's Enthronement
This monument was erected on September 2, 1903 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Emperor (formerly King) Gojong's enthronement. There is, on the front face of the monument, a laudatory inscription handwritten by his son, Emperor Sunjong, which reads: 'Imperial Korea, His Majesty the Emperor, in Commemoration of the Forty-Year Reign, and to Pray for Sixty Additional Years of His Majesty's Life'. The pavilion-style building set up to protect the monument is widely praised for the characteristic beauty of the traditional Korean architecture and regarded as a valuable piece of Korea's artistic and cultural heritage. The arched gate and some sections of the railings had been robbed by the Japanese during the colonial period (1910-1945), but were recovered in 1954. The entire building was completely restored in 1979.
