A sanatorium of the Front Command was situated in Naegumgang in the period of the Fatherland Liberation War (June 1950-July 1953).

Barracks, mess hall and a spring site are preserved in its original state.

As the war dragged on, President Kim Il Sung, on May 25, Juche 40 (1951), took a measure to set up a sanatorium there for soldiers.

On October 2, 1952, he went to the sanatorium to learn about the living conditions of the resters.

He touched a soldier's wounded leg with his hand and hoped that he would recover from the wound during the rest.

He dropped in a kitchen, asking the cooks to make various kinds of tasty dishes for soldiers.

He requested officials of the sanatorium to pay deep attention to the soldiers' life before leaving the sanatorium.
