The Plinths of Yeongeunmun Gate, Seoul (Korean: 서울 영은문 주초) are one of the Historic Sites of South Korea, as remnants of the Yeongeunmun destroyed in the year 1895. They are currently located in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, inside of the Seodaemun Independence Park. This structure resulted from the intentional destruction of the Yeongeunmun, which was led by enlightenment activists in the Joseon government, promising diplomatic independence of the Joseon from the Late Chinese Empire.
