Why go

Deoksugung Dondeokjeon is a recently restored building in Deoksugung Palace — originally constructed during the Korean Empire (Daehan Jeguk) era under Emperor Gojong, the building was used as an imperial reception space. Reopened to the public in 2023 after restoration, it now serves as an exhibition space documenting the late-imperial Korean Empire period. For travelers visiting Deoksugung and seriously interested in Korea's late-imperial history, Dondeokjeon is one of the cleaner specialty single picks within the palace, and a strong addition to a Deoksugung visit.
