| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to prove the original form of walls around Heunginjimun Gate. The spatial scope and subject of this study are
the sections between the northern wall of Heunginjimun Gate and the Ogansumun Gate; the time range is from 1869 when Heunginjimun
Gate was rebuilt to 1911 when the wall was destroyed. To understand the transition process of Heunginjimun Gate in the 19th century, the
original shape of the wall was inferred through literature records, old photographs, old maps, and modern maps; the changes shown in each
data set was confirmed through field surveys. Through this, changes in Heunginjimun Gate’s rampart Ongseong chemise, surrounding wall,
and topography were analyzed. The results indicated that the Heunginjimun Gate area included flat land from the hilly area at the entrance
of Naksan Mountain to Ogansumun Gate. The topography of this section consisted of low wetlands around Cheonggyecheon Stream, flatland
around Wangsan-ro street, and hilly areas of Naksan Mountain. However, in the 19th century, the topography of Heunginjimun Gate changed
twice. There were four types of construction methods identified in the fortress around Heunginjimun Gate. The construction of Heunginjimun
Gate and the renovation of Ongsong chemise influenced the change regarding the shape of the wall of Hanyangdoseong. |
