Unhyeongung, Royal palace in Jongno District, South Korea.
The Unhyeongung complex features several traditional Korean buildings, including Norakdang, Noan-dang, and Irodang, surrounded by landscaped gardens and stone pathways.
The residence belonged to Heungseon Daewongun, father of Emperor Gojong, and served as a center of power during the late Joseon Dynasty in the 19th century.
The palace maintains regular reenactments of the 1866 royal wedding between King Gojong and Empress Myeongseong in traditional Joseon Dynasty costumes.
