Historic Gate Burned Down.

Earlier this week a fire destroyed a large 600 year old gate in South Korea. It used to gate the city of Seoul. It was known as the National Treasure in South Korea. It is sad for many because it has been around for so long and survived so much. It survived both the Chinese and Japanese invasions and also the Korean War. On Monday they suspected a man named Chae had set it on fire and he later confessed to his crime. Two years ago, in 2006, he also set fire to the Changgyeong palace, which is also in Seoul that 4,230 dollars in damage. The Cultural Heritage Administration estimated that it will take a couple of years and about 21 million dollars to rebuild the gate.
