About

It is a historic space founded in 1410 to enshrine the Eojin (portrait) of Taejo Seonggye Yi, who founded the Joseon Dynasty. Located in the center of Jeonju Hanok Village, it preserves the breath of history intact. Passing through the magnificent Jeongjeon and the red Hongsalmun Gate and entering the grounds, you can encounter precious cultural heritages such as the Jeonju Sago, which stored the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty, and The Royal Portrait Museum in a tranquil atmosphere.

The dense bamboo forest path is good for walking in contemplation, and it is a representative attraction of Jeonju where you can fully enjoy the antique mood against the backdrop of beautiful hanok architecture.
