Hamhung Royal Villa, Royal palace in Hamhung, North Korea
The Hamhung Royal Villa features five quarters measuring 15 meters in length, with traditional Korean architectural elements and detailed exterior ornaments.
The palace served as the residence of Yi Seong-gye before he established the Joseon Dynasty and became the birthplace of several future Korean monarchs.
The villa's name inspired a Korean proverb 'Hamheungchasa,' referring to envoys who never returned after Yi Seong-gye refused to meet his fifth son.
Visitors can only access the villa through authorized guided tours, and photography permissions are limited to specific designated areas of the complex.
The villa maintains its status as National Treasure number 107 of North Korea, with various original relics displayed in the Hamheung history museum.
