Visit details

Changgyeonggung was built by Seongjong on the former Suganggung site, which Sejong had made in 1418 for Taejong. In 1483 Seongjong enlarged it for three dowager queens and named it Changgyeonggung. It formed one East Palace area with Changdeokgung and was mainly a royal living quarter. It burned in the 1592 Imjin War and was rebuilt in 1616; most buildings burned in 1830 and were rebuilt four years later. After Sunjong took the throne in 1907 a zoo and botanical garden were added; in 1911 Japan renamed it Changgyeongwon. The name Changgyeonggung was restored in 1983, the zoo moved, and palace restoration began. Unlike other palaces, the main gate and throne hall face east.
