Villa of Rhee Syngman (이승만별장(고성))
33, Iseungmanbyeoljang-gil, Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do
About
During the 1950's, three leaders, namely Kim Ilsung, Rhee Syngman and Lee Ki-poong had summer houses built around the lake of Hwajinpo. The villa of Rhee Syngman, Korea's first president, was built in 1954 but fell into a state of disuse by 1961. It was not repaired until July of 1997 by the army, and was fully restored in 1999, opening as an exhibition hall.
Visitors also explore Hwajinpo History & Security Museum (화진포역사안보전시관), Villa of Lee Ki-poong (이기붕별장) and Hwajinpo Lake (화진포(화진포호)) near this location.
