United Nations (UN) Forces Cremation Facility, Yeoncheon

This facility was built to cremate United Nations soldiers killed during the Korean War, and remained in use until shortly after the armistice. The walls and roof of the building have been damaged, but its most important element, the cremation chimney, survives intact. It was built using random rubble masonry made from stones gathered in the surrounding area. It holds significance not only as a relic of the Korean War but also as a facility commemorating the UN soldiers who died in it.
