    Deoksugung Palace

    Deoksugung is one of the Five Grand Palaces in Seoul. Deoksugung Palace was first used as a temporary palace in 1593 after the Japanese invasion. In 1611, it became an official palace named Gyeongungung. When Emperor Gojong declared the Korean Empire in 1897, it served as the imperial palace and included Western-style buildings. A major fire in 1904 destroyed many structures, and in 1907, after Gojong’s abdication, it was renamed Deoksugung. During Japanese rule, the palace was greatly reduced and turned into part of a public park. After liberation, it hosted the U.S.–Soviet Joint Commission, and restoration efforts have continued since.
