House of Freedom

For the Italian political alliance, see House of Freedoms.

The House of Freedom (Korean: 자유의집; RR: Jayuuijip) is a four-story building located in the southern part of Panmunjom (Joint Security Area). It stands opposite to its North Korean equivalent, the Phanmun Pavilion. It is located 130 metres (430 ft) southwest of the Peace House in the south of Panmunjom. The Inter-Korean House of Freedom was rebuilt on 9 July 1998 after demolition of the old house of freedom. The building served as the venue for a one hour meeting between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un as part of the 2019 Koreas–United States DMZ Summit.^[1][2]
