I will tell you about 경운궁 palace. Originally, 경운궁 was the private house of the older brother of king seongjong. In the late 16th century, joseon had a Japanese invasion!! So, he decided to use the best remaining royal house as a temporary home. After 창덕궁 was rebuilt, king 광해 moved to a new palace. King 고종 expended it, three times bigger than now then announced the change of the name of joseon to "Daehan Empire"(대한제국). Emperor Gojong lived here for 22 years and died here... Thank you!! |
