Hwaseomun is the west gate of Hwaseong Fortress. “Hwaseo (華西)” literally means “the west of Hwaseong Fortress,” however, the gate is actually located at the northwest of the fortress, because at due west of the fortress is the summit of Paldalsan Mountain.
One of the four gates of Hwaseong Fortress, Hwaseomun was constructed in 1796. It consists of a stone arch, single-story wooden pavilion, and a semi-circular brick wall which helps defend the gate. The names of those involved in the construction are inscribed on the stone wall of the gate.
Hwaseomun was comparatively well-preserved and was therefore designated as Treasure No. 403 in 1964. The wooden pavilion and stone arch underwent minor repairs in 1975.
Hwaseomun, when viewed together with the adjacent Northwestern Watchtower, is considered one of the most iconic scenes of Hwaseong Fortress.
Paldalmun is the south gate of Hwaseong Fortress. “Paldal (八達)” literally means “to lead in all directions.” The name comes from Paldalsan Mountain to the west of the fortress.
