| Deoksugung Palace

 

Deoksugung Palace was originally built for Wolsandaegun

(1254-1488) the older brother of King Sejong. After 1611,

it became an official palace for the kings and a temporary

residence. The area consisted of residential buildings for

descendants of the royal family. The name of the Deoksugung

means palace of virtuous longevity. The palace had encompassed

a large area with many buildings, but now only a few buildings

remain of the original complex.
