Seoul Fortress Former Yongsan Water Observatory
 
Seoul Apartment   Former Yongsan Water Observatory was the first of its kind to be established in the bed of Hangang River. Prior to its establishment in 1917, an ordinary observation under the title 'Ku (Former) Yongsan' was being performed; however, with its establishment in December 1924, followed by the official launching of the observation activities in January 1925, Former Yongsan Water Observatory effectively enabled scientific and modern observation of the water levels. Although it was closed due to water level changes in 1977, the Observatory continued until September 1976. Nevertheless, it seems as though observation had once been halted during the political disruption period from 1945 following the liberation and through the Korean War. As an independent structure, it is a unique treasure.
