Changdeokgung Palace, Seoul

Daejojeon residence

Daejojeon, the residence for the king and queen in Changdeokgung Palace; it had separate floor-heated rooms for the king and queen and a gathering hall in between. Royal banquets were also held here and the Joseon Dynasty held here its last cabinet meeting to deliberate on the annexation of Korea by Japan. It was destroyed by fire in 1917 and the present buildings were reconstructed with materials removed from the queen's quarters at Gyeongbokgung Palace. The last empress of Joseon resided here until after the liberation of Korea.
