A temporary palace, called haenggung in Korean, refers to the temporary residence used by a king when he was not at the main palace in the royal capital. During the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), temporary palaces were built in many parts of the country, including Namhansanseong Fortress, where the royal family once took refuge during a war, and in Asan, where kings traveled to enjoy hot springs. This temporary palace was built by King Jeongjo (r. 1776-1800). In 1789, King Jeongjo moved his father Crown Prince Sado's tomb from today's Hwigyeong-dong, Seoul to Hwaseong, and he needed a place to stay nearby when he visited to pay his respects. So, he had this temporary palace constructed. It was completed the following year, in 1790. When Hwaseong Fortress was constructed from 1794 to 1796, the temporary palace was significantly expanded. In 1795, King Jeongjo held a splendid royal banquet here to celebrate the 60th birthday of his mother, Lady Hyegyeong. When the king was not visiting, the temporary palace also functioned as the local government office for the Suwon area. King Jeongjo planned to retire to this temporary palace after abdicating the throne, and it was therefore built in a grand scale similar to the palaces in the royal capital. It was thus the largest temporary palace in all of Joseon. In the early 20th century, all of the buildings, except Nangnamheon and Noraedang Halls, were demolished to build a provincial hospital on the site. The palace was reconstructed between 1996 and 2002.
