Geunjeongjeon Hall

Designated a Korean National Treasure, Geunjeongjeon Hall at Seoul's Gyeongbokgung Palace is considered to reflect the essence of traditional Korean palace architecture.

 

Built in 1395 the Hall was used for national ceremonies such as coronation ceremonies and the reception of foreign dignitaries during the Joseon Dynasty.

 

Destroyed by fire in 1592 the Hall was reconstructed in 1867 using the best architectural techniques at the time to reflect the grandeur and majesty of this unique wooden building.
