Gonnyeonghap Hall was the residence of Queen Myeongseong, built alongside the king's residence, Geoncheonggung Residence. This is also the place where she was assassinated by the Japanese on October 8th, 1895 (the 32nd year of King Gojong's reign). Dr. Annie Ellers Bunker, an American who served the royal family of Joseon (Joseon Dynasty) for seven years as a medical doctor, described the queen as a kind, gentle, and beautiful woman. As Japan invaded Manchuria after having won the First Sino-Japanese War in February 1895, the royal family of the Joseon Dynasty advocated stronger ties between Korea and Russia in an attempt to block Japanese influence in the country. However, this caused a group of Japanese assassins to raid the queen's residence and slaughter her on October 8th in 1895. They burned her body and buried the remains at the foot of Noksan Hill, east of Geoncheonggung Residence. Later, a state funeral was granted after the remains were collected and placed in Gyeongungung Palace (present day Deoksugung Palace).
