A Guide to the Official Opening of King Gojong's Road
Gojong's road is a 120m long road that runs from Deoksugung Stone Wall Road to Jeongdong Park and the Russian legation,
As the site of Seonwonjeon Hall in Deoksugung Palace became Korean-owned land through land exchange with the United States in 2011, stone pillars and fences were built on the border
This is a restore.
The area of Seonwonjeon Hall of Deoksugung Palace, which faces the path of King Gojong, is a place where kings' eojin and shinju were enshrined, and it was originally located along Sejong-daero
When it was burned in a fire in 1900, it was moved to the northern sign of the U.S. legation in 1901 (now 1-8, Jeong-dong),
After Korea's liberation from Japanese colonial rule, it was used as a site for Gyeonggi Girls' High School and the U.S. Embassy in Korea, but in 2003, for the construction of a dormitory for the U.S. Embassy in 2003
As a result of the cultural property index survey conducted, it was confirmed that it was the area of Seonwonjeon Hall in Deoksugung Palace.
According to an agreement between the South Korean and U.S. governments in 2011, it became a land owned by Korea, and accordingly, the "road of King Gojong" could be restored.
