The Sinuiju North Korean Leader's Residence (Korean신의주 관저; Hanja新義州 官邸), which may locally be known as the Central Luxury House or Central Luxury Residence, is one of the many official residences of North Korean leader and Workers' Party of Korea's general secretary Kim Jong-Un.[1][2] He reportedly took over the residence from his father, Kim Jong-il after the elder Kim's death in 2011.[3] The residence is located near Sinuiju, in the North P'yŏngan province of North Korea.[4] Public knowledge about the residence came to light through the North Korea Uncovered project.[5][2]
