Changdeokgung (Palace)

Changdeokgung (Biwon)Image In the early 15th century, the King Taejong ordered the construction of a new palace. Construction was set up to create the complex, consisting of a number of official and residential buildings set in a garden. The new palace is what we now know as ‘Changdeokgung’ and the garden, ‘Biwon’. Biwon , a sacred garden of the Royal family was open to the public only since 2004. To preserve its originality, one can only visit Biwon with a designated tour.
