- Caption / Description:
-
The changing of the guard ceremony outside Heungnyemun (흥례문) gate in Gyeongbokgung (경복궁) Palace in Seoul (서울), South Korea (대한민국).
Heungnyemun Gate was originally built in 1426, but was then named Hongnyemun Gate (弘禮門). When it was rebuilt in 1867 during the regency of Daewongun, it was renamed to Heungnyemun ( 興禮門) as Hongli (弘曆) was the name of the Chinese Qing dynasty Qianlong Emperor.
Destroyed in 1911 to make way for the construction of the Japanese Government-General Building during the Japanese occupation of Korea, the Japanese Government-General Building was then demolished in 1995, and the current building was reconstructed in 2001.
