Mangyongdae native house



The Mangyongdae native house, situated just outside of Pyongyang is the alleged birthplace and family home of the North Korean leader Kim Il-Sung, a wide reaching and well kept park has been built around the house.

The home, a reconstruction, depicts Kim Il-Sung's family as humble and poor farmers, with a number of objects and farm tools on display apparently belonging to them. The historical accuracy of the home however has been questioned, for records show Kim Il-Sung was born in a middle class family and his father was a Christian Pastor; as well as the fact that he spent a considerable amount of his childhood outside of the country, in China.
