Cherung Royal Tomb, Royal burial tomb in Kaesong, North Korea

The Cherung Royal Tomb features a burial mound encircled by a carved granite base with a ceremonial path leading to the main structure.

Queen Sinui, the first wife of Joseon dynasty founder Yi Song-gye, was laid to rest at this location following her death in 1392.

The spirit road approaching the tomb displays stone statues representing military officers and Confucian officials, following Korean burial traditions.

This mausoleum stands as one of only two Joseon dynasty royal tombs located within the current borders of North Korea.

The tomb remains in its original location in the former Goryeo capital of Gaegyeong, where Queen Sinui was buried before receiving her royal title.
