  • Deoksugung
    Deoksugung Palace, also known as Gyeongun-gung, is a beautiful and historically significant palace located in the heart of Seoul, South Korea. It was built during the Joseon Dynasty and served as the residence of various members of the royal family throughout its history. Deoksugung Palace is unique in that it has a mix of traditional Korean architecture and Western-style buildings, which were added during the Japanese occupation of Korea. The palace is also known for its beautiful gardens, including a stone-wall road lined with pine trees and a lotus pond. Today, Deoksugung Palace is open to the public as a museum and cultural site, with various exhibitions and cultural events held throughout the year. Visitors can explore the palace grounds, learn about its history and significance, and experience traditional Korean culture.
  • Gyeonghuigung Palace

It was originally built in 1623 during the Joseon Dynasty as the residence of King Gwanghaegun's father, but was later destroyed during the Japanese invasions of Korea in the late 16th century. The palace was rebuilt in 1867 during the reign of King Gojong and served as the secondary palace for the royal family. It was also used as a military headquarters during the Japanese colonial period and suffered significant damage during the Korean War.
  • Appenzeller Noble Memorial Museum

It was also where the infamous Eulsa Treaty (Japan-Korea Protectorate Treaty)was signed in 1905. Its exhibition hall serves as a place for historical education.
