- Caption / Description:
-
Injeongjeon, the throne hall of Changdeokgung Palace, in Seoul, South Korea. Changdeokgung was built as a secondary palace in 1405, and then used as the primary palace for Korea's monarchy from 1610 until 1868. Injeongjeon was originally built in 1405, but was then rebuilt 13 years later in 1418. It was destroyed during the Imjin war with the Japanese in 1592, then rebuilt again in 1610. After being destroyed by fire, it was rebuilt for a third time in 1804.
Injeongjeon is built so that it appears to have two stories from the outside, but inside it is a single storey building with a high ceiling. The building was modified in 1908 to a more western style, with wooden floor, lighting, curtains, and glass windows being installed.
Injeongjeon and the courtyard were used for major state affairs such as receiving foreign envoys and the coronation of a new king. The stone markers (called pumgyeseok) in the courtyard indicate the positions where ministers would line up during ceremonies. The more important the official, the closer to the throne hall (and so the king) they would stand. These stones were installed in 1777, during the first year of King Jeongjo.
