Deoksugung is a royal palace in central Seoul, first used as a temporary residence during the Imjin War of 1592–1598 and made the main palace of the Korean Empire by Emperor Gojong in 1897. Traditional halls such as the throne hall Junghwajeon stand beside Western-style buildings, including the stone Seokjojeon completed in 1910.
Changgyeonggung is a Joseon palace next to Changdeokgung, first built by King Sejong in 1418 for his retired father and enlarged in 1483. Its throne hall Myeongjeongjeon dates from 1616; under Japanese rule the grounds became a zoo and park, removed in 1983. The Chundangji pond and a glass greenhouse from 1909 stand in the garden.
