Gyeongbokgung, or the Palace of Felicitous Blessing, was the main palace of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). It opened in 1395, the fourth year of the reign of Taejo, the founding monarch of Joseon. The palace attained all necessary facilities and systems commensurate with its status as Joseon’s primary palace during the reign of Sejong (r. 1418-1450). It was burnt down in 1592 during the Japanese invasions and remained in ruins until extensive reconstruction was undertaken in 1868, the fifth year of Gojong. However, many of the structures were removed during the Japanese colonial rule (1908-1945).

The Cultural Heritage Administration has been restoring the palace since 1990. First of all, the old Japanese government-general building was dismantled and Heungnyemun and its cloisters were reconstructed. The bedchambers of the king and the queen, named Gangnyeongjeon and Gyotaejeon, as well as Donggung, or the East Palace, the residence of crown prince, were restored. Currently, Gwanghwamun, the palace’s main gate, is being rebuilt. Thus, the palace is regaining its old splendor.

At the same time, the palace’s official homepage has recently been refurbished to provide better service to internet users. The site offers virtual tours around the palace and introduces colorful events held in its beautiful compounds. Its service has been further upgraded with diverse functions, including a bulletin board for visitors to share their memories of the palace.

The staff of the Gyeongbokgung Office will continue to do its best to preserve and promote the palace, a most illustrious legacy of our ancestors.
