Independence Club demolished the Yeongeunmun Gate, which had been the symbol of the prevailing submissive diplomatic policy towards Qing Dynasty, and built the Independence Gate. To raise funds for the building, the Independence Club collected contributions.
  • 独立門（どくりつもん）は、大韓民国ソウル特別市西大門区峴底洞（ヒョンジョドン）101番地の独立公園内にある門。1896年11月21日定礎、1897年11月20日完成。 高さ14.28m、幅11.48m。約1,850個の御影石から作られている。フランスパリのエトワール凱旋門を模して作られた。史跡第32号（1963年1月21日指定）。1979年に整備事業により本来の位置から北西に70m移動された。 日清戦争により日本が清に勝利し、下関条約にて清の冊封体制からの李氏朝鮮の独立を認めさせた。これにより李氏朝鮮は清の支配から解放され、自主独立国家として歩みだすことになり、その記念として清への服属の象徴の一つであった迎恩門を壊し、そのすぐ隣に建設された。建設には、朝鮮の開化派の独立協会が中心となり、募金を募り建てている。 現在の韓国において、この独立門が「日本からの独立」を記念する門であると主張する者もいるが、正しくは「清の冊封体制からの独立」を記念したものである。
