- Caption / Description:
-
Looking east across the area in front of Seonwonjeon, in Changdeokgung palace, Seoul, South Korea. Seonwonjeon was used as a royal shrine, where confucian rites to honour former kings were held.
To the left can be seen one of the auxialiary buildings, Naechaldang, while ahead can be seen Bochunmun gate, which leads to Yangjidang, a building where the king would stay the night before ancestral rites were to be performed at Seonwonjeon. Behind that further back is Injeongjeon, the royal throne room where major state affairs such as the coronation of a new king or receiving of foreign envoys would take place.
During the Japanese occupation of Korea the area of Seonwonjeon was left to fall into disrepair, as a new Seonwonjeon was built further north in the grounds of the palace. The area has since been restored in 2005, with buildings that had previously been removed being rebuilt.
