About
ABOUT
Deoksugung Palace was originally the private residence of Prince Wolsan, the older brother of King Seongjong, the 9th king of the Joseon Dynasty, and it was also where the descendants of Prince Wolsan lived thereafter. When all the palaces in the capital were destroyed during the Japanese invasions of Korea in 1592, it was used as a temporary palace from 1593 and was called Jeongneung-dong Temporary Palace. Later, in 1611, it was named Gyeongungung Palace and became an official palace. However, when Changdeokgung Palace was rebuilt, it remained as a separate palace again. Then, in 1897, when King Gojong declared the Korean Empire and ascended to the throne of emperor, it was used as the imperial palace of the Korean Empire.
