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'.

Injeongjeon Hall is the throne hall of Changdeokgung Palace, and it was where important events were held, such as the king's ascension to the throne, assembly of the subjects, state official examinations, and royal banquets. The name "Injeong" means "benevolent ruling."

Injeongjeon Hall was built during the establishment of Changdeokgung Palace but was later rebuilt in 1418 (the 18th year of King Taejong). It was reconstructed in 1610 (the 2nd year of King Gwanghaegun) after it was destroyed in the Japanese invasion in 1592.

Injeongjeon Hall is a magnificent mid-rise building built on a two-story wide stone platform (Woldae). Since the stone platform is low in height and has no railings installed, the hall appears simple compared to Geunjeongjeon Hall of Gyeongbokgung Palace. Originally, the floor inside the hall was covered with clay-baked bricks, but now the hall has parquet block flooring. The hall was refurbished to Western-style in 1908 with light bulbs, curtains, and glass windows.

The front yard, or the royal court, of Injeongjeon Hall is covered with wide and thin stones like any other palace, and three paths are laid in the center to demonstrate the dignity of the palace. The courtyard also has stone posts that define state officials’ positions by their ranks. Part of the outer corridors of Injeongjeon Hall was restored after 1991.

Injeongmun Gate is the main gate of Injeongjeon Hall. It has a hip-and-gable roof in the front and on the sides. Injeongmun Gate was where the next king’s coronation was performed during a king’s funeral (state funeral). This is where seven kings (Hyojong, Hyeonjong, Sukjong, Yeongjo, Sunjo, Cheoljong, and Gojong) of the Joseon dynasty were coronated.
