Unhyeongung Yanggwan

This impressive Neo-Baroque building was built as a home for Heungseon Daewongun's grandson, Yi Jun-yong. When he died, it was taken over by Prince Yi Wu, who would be killed during the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. It's now an office for Duksung Women's University's continuing education program.

 

The architect is unknown.
