Today, I went to the Unhyun Palace. Unhyun Palace was a house to Heung-seon-dae-won-gun. Heung-seon-dae-won-gun is King Gojong¡¯s father. Unhyun Palace is not a very official palace like Gyeongbok Palace, but is a important place. Because the palace is not official, there were no Japsang, and no Danchong on the tile roofs.

         In the Unhyun Palace, I had some few interesting things I knew. First, it was the Norak-dang. The Norak-dang had a few things happening in the old times. 1. King Gojong, and Queen Min held their marriage in the Norak-dang. 2. Queen Min had lessons in the Norak-dang to be the Queen of South Korea. 3. It is told that the Heung-seon-dae-won-gun had died in Norak-dang. That is pretty sad!!-_- Second, it is the Iro-dang. The Iro-dang was built because after Queen Min and King Gojong¡¯s marriage, Heung-seon-dae-won-gun¡¯s family couldn¡¯t stay in the Norak-dang. So, Iro-dang was built for that reason. Also, Heung-seon-dae-won-gun¡¯s wife stayed at the Iro-dang.

         Conclusion: I think it is sad that Heung-seon-dae-won-gun died in the Norak-dang, and it is also sad that Queen Min got murdered by the Japanese people. I was also surprised that king Gojong became King at the age of 12!! Unhyun Palace is one of my favorite palaces in Korea!
