Hyangwonjeong Pavilion and Geoncheonggung Residence
In 1873, King Gojong (r. 1863-1907) built Geoncheonggung Palace in the northern part of Gyeongbokgung to assert his political independence from his father, the Prince Regent Heungseon. This northern palace included quarters for the King and several bedrooms. A tragic chapter in Korea's history was recorded here in 1895 when Empress Myeongseong was assassinated by the Japanese. The garden here had been developed as a rear garden of the concubines' quarters. Originally, Chwirojeong Pavilion stood on the islet at the center of the pond, and was replaced by a hexagonal pavilion named Hyangwonjeong when Geoncheonggung was built.
