What kind of place is Unhyeongung Palace?

 

Unhyeongung Palace is the place where Gojong lived before he became the king, and also the home of Heounseon Daewongun who had supreme power at the time. In Unhyeon Palace, you can feel the beauty of Korea traditional houses and enjoy Korean modern history. At the period of Cheoljong, a folk song widely talked about the Power of king in Unhyeongung Palace, old site of Gansanggam, where Gojong had lived in until he was 12 years old. Also Daewongun enlarged the site of Unhyeongung Palace after Gojong was made king.
