Attend a Traditional Wedding Ceremony at Unhyeongung Palace
A re-enactment of the royal wedding of King Gojong and Empress Myeongseong will take place on April 29th (Sat), 2017 at Unhyeongung Palace.
King Gojong and Empress Myeongseong were married in the third year of Gojong’s reign, in 1866. Once Empress Myeongseong was proclaimed the King’s intended wife, she was moved to Norakdang, a part of Unhyeongung, to learn palace etiquette and the formalities involved in a royal wedding ceremony. Their wedding date was on March 21st by the lunar calendar and the King was 15 and Empress 16 years old at the time of their marriage. The April 30th event is a historical re-enactment of their wedding ceremony.
*Unhyeongung Palace is historical site no. 257. King Gojong lived here until the age of 12, when he ascended to the throne. Gojong would go on to become the first emperor of Korea and was the 26th king of the Joseon Dynasty. Unhyeongung was also the residence of King Gojong’s father and regent, Heungseon Daewongun.
*This event is held annually, during the spring and fall.
