Hyeolleung, Royal burial plot in Guri, South Korea.

Hyeolleung is a royal burial site in Guri featuring stone sculptures, ceremonial pathways, and landscaped grounds arranged around the tomb structures. The area spreads across carefully designed terrain with defined routes and functional spaces intended for different ritual purposes.

Hyeolleung was laid out in 1452 after King Munjong died, on a site chosen by Grand Prince Suyang, Hwangbo In, Kim Jong-seo and Jeong In-ji after inspecting the ground with geomancers. Queen Hyeondeok had died in 1441 and was first buried at Soreung in Ansan; after her posthumous demotion in 1457 she was restored in 1512 and moved beside Munjong in spring 1513, 72 years after her death.

Queen Hyeondeok, born in 1418, entered the palace at 14 and became crown princess in 1437 after the deposition of Crown Princess Sunbin Bong. She died in 1441, aged 24, shortly after giving birth to Danjong. First buried at Soreung in Ansan, she was disinterred and moved to Hyeolleung in 1513, 72 years after her death, following her restoration in 1512.

The site is accessible by public transportation from Seoul, with regular buses departing from Guri Station. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and plan enough time to explore the different areas of the grounds.

Queen Hyeondeok was first buried at Soreung in Ansan. After her son's faction fell in 1457 she was demoted, then restored in 1512; the next spring, 72 years after her death, her remains were moved to the left ridge of Hyeolleung beside King Munjong.
