Changgyeonggung Palace Okcheon Bridge
Changgyeonggung Palace Okcheon Bridge, Stone bridge at Changgyeonggung Palace in Jongno-dong, South Korea.
The Okcheon Bridge extends 9.9 meters in length and 6.6 meters in width, featuring two supporting arches and stone parapets at Changgyeonggung Palace.
Built in 1483 during King Seongjong's reign, the bridge remained functional through multiple reconstructions of the palace after Japanese invasions in the 16th century.
The bridge incorporates carved stone goblins beneath its structure, following Korean architectural traditions of using protective symbols against malevolent forces.
The bridge connects different sections of the palace grounds, enabling visitors to cross the stream while exploring the historical complex.
The structure maintains its original Joseon dynasty engineering principles, demonstrating medieval Korean bridge construction techniques through its twin-arch support system.
