The present pavilion structure dates from 1955, when it was
rebuilt. The pavilion is three stories high, approximately 12.5 meters in
height. The reconstruction is said to be a copy close to the original, although
some doubt such an extensive gold-leaf coating was used on the original
structure.

Looks like this has been here a while and seems to have grown
some moss.
