Rare card · No. 43534

The Kumsusan Palace of the Sun (Korean: 금수산태양궁전), formerly the Kumsusan Memorial Palace (금수산기념궁전), is the mausoleum where the preserved bodies of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, the eternal leaders of North Korea, are displayed. Located near the northeast corner of the city of Pyongyang, the memorial has been renovated from the Kumsusan Assembly Hall (금수산의사당), Kim Il Sung's official residence and office. The palace has been described as the "sacred temple of Juche" (주체의 최고성지) and is noted in the Socialist Constitution as the "eternal sanctuary of the entire Korean nation," being preserved as a national landmark.
