The palace was built in the mid-15th century by King Sejong. Many structures were destroyed during Japan's multiple late 15th to 16th (1592) century attempts to conquer Korea and invade China. It was rebuilt by successive Joseon Kings but was once again largely destroyed by the Japanese in the early 20th century. During the Japanese colonial period, the Japanese built a zoo, botanical garden, and museum on the site.
