Roof of Injeongjeon, Changdeokgung palace
Caption / Description:

Looking up at the roof of Injeongjeon, in Changdeokgung palace, Seoul, South Korea. Injeongjeon was the throne hall of Changdeokgung, and was originally built in 1405, when the palace was first constructed. However the building has been burnt down and rebuilt several times, with the current building dating from 1804.

In 1908 the building was modified to a more western style, with the floor being covered with wooden floorboards. Western style lighting, curtains and glass windows were also installed. From the outside the building appears to have two storeys, but it is actually a single storey building with a high ceiling. The ceiling and supporting beams are all painted in the traditional Korean dancheong style.
