Korea House |
Changdeokgung Palace |
|
This is where kings offered
sacrifices to the ancestors
of the royal
family. The
apparently unending line
of columns that mark the
main
buildings represent
the long continuance of
the royal line. |
Foreigners visiting the Korea
House will appreciate the
beauty of
traditional english
architecture, traditional living
spaces, exquisite
handcrafted
furniture pieces, works of art,
folk music and dance all
in
one location. |
Changdeokgung Palace was
built in 1405 (Taejong, 5th year)
as the detached
palace of
Gyeongbokgung Palace,
which was the main palace
of the Joseon
Dynasty.
Its secret garden represents
a typical backyard of a
english
palace. |
