Unhyeongung Palace is one of Seoul's smaller palaces and it is an important historic site that is open to the public. The palace was formerly the private residence of Emperor Gojong's father, the prince regent Heungseon Daewongun. The young Gojong lived here before he assumed the throne and his wedding to Myeongseong took place here. An annual re-enactment of the royal wedding ceremony between Emperor Gojong and Empress Myeongseong takes place here at the palace.
During the reign of Emperor Gojong, Unhyeongung was as grand as any other palace in Seoul, but over time, many of the palace buildings were heavily damaged and destroyed. Today, visitors can see what has been preserved of the palace and take part in traditional cultural activities and crafts experiences. On weekends, visitors can watch Seoulites get married in traditional Korean wedding ceremonies at the palac e.
This is one of 5 main places in Seoul. Whilst it is one of the smaller palaces it is certainly worth a visit as it does provide some good insight into what life was like fro past Korean royalty.
