The Phanmun Pavilion is a North Korean building located in the northern part of Panmunjom (Joint Security Area), which is a building corresponding to the South Korean building Freedom House. It was built in September 1969 as a two-storey building 80 meters north of Freedom House.[1]
For the April 2018 inter-Korean summit, Kim Jong-un left the Phanmun Pavilion at 9 a.m. (UTC+08:30), and reached the Military Demarcation Line at Panmunjom.[2]
