KOREA HERITAGE SERVICE [KHS]

The Korea Heritage Digital Service is a service that releases various national heritage data, so that companies, regions, and the public can easily find high-quality national heritage data. It is expected to be of great help to the public as well as companies, local governments, universities and research institutes by releasing national heritage data such as 3D data, drawings, photos, reports and videos that are difficult for the public to access.

You can easily access the data by using conditional search functions such as designated items, regions, eras and production years, and also can easily check information such as 3D scanned videos and web VR contents provided by Korea Heritage Service through services such as '3D Asset' and 'Theme Contents'.

Gyeongbokgung Palace 경복궁

Gyeongbokgung Palace, the main palace in the Joseon Dynasty, was built after King Taejo, founder of the Joseon Dynasty. He had the capital moved to Hanyang during the fourth year of his reign (1395). Its name, literally meaning “great fortune,” originated with a phrase of Sigyeong (Book of Songs), quoted by Jeong Do-jeon, an eminent scholar in the Joseon Dynasty: "I've already drunk and have been full with virtue, so I will help you get great fortune in my late year as a man of virtue.”

Heungnyemun Gate of Gyeongbokgung 흥례문

This is Heungnyemun, also known as the second gate into Gyeongbokgung. Gatekeepers stood on duty for two-hour shifts at the gate. Now they have regular changing of the guard ceremonies here. There is a book entitled ‘Uigwe’ which records the order and format of state ceremonies in Joseon. The reenactment is performed according to the rules laid out by this book, which is also part of UNESCO’s Memory of the World programme. Heungnyemun gate, which can be thought of as the face of the dynasty, met with difficult times.
