- Caption / Description:
-
Buildings in the south-west corner of Gwolnaegaksa, in Changdeokgung palace, Seoul, South Korea. Gwolnaegaksa was an area of Changdeokgung where government offices closely involved with the the royal household's affairs were located. Due to the large number of offices concentrated in a relatively small area, Gwolnaegaksa has a labyrinthine feel to it.
Gwolnaegaksa was destroyed and paved over with roads during the Japanese occupation of Korea. The current buildings were rebuilt between 1991 and 2005 as part of a project to restore Changdeokgung to its original state. In 1997 Changdeokgung was awarded World Heritage Site status by UNESCO.
