The 4 palaces of Korea - No2. Changgyeonggung Palace (창경궁)

 [Changgyeonggung Palace (창경궁)]



Located in the heart of Seoul, Changgyeonggung Palace was first built by the 4th ruler of the Joseon Dynasty, King Sejong (r.1418-1450), for his retiring father, King Taejong. It often served as residential quarters for queens and concubines. During the reign of King Seongjong (r.1469-1494), the palace was renovated and renamed to Changgyeonggung Palace. It later became a park with a zoo and a botanical garden during Japanese colonial rule. The palace was then relocated in 1983 and regained its old grace after years of restoration.

창경궁은 한국의 4대궁중 하나로 조선시대의 궁궐 중 하나. 일제강점기 및 해방 후 40여 년 동안 '창경원(昌慶苑)'이라는 이름으로 불렸으나 1986년 궁궐 복원에 따라 창경궁으로 환원되었다. 조선 시대에는 창덕궁과 연결되어 동궐로 불리면서 실질적으로 하나의 궁궐 역할을 했다.

안타깝고 분노가 치미는 사건 숭례문 방화자가 숭례문 방화엪 앞서 2년전에 2006년 창경궁에 들어가 방화를 일으키려고 했던 일이 있었다. 이때 붙잡혔던 범인 채종기(당시 67세)를 집행유예로 풀어주며 결국 숭례문 화재사건이 일어 났다. 요즘 한국은 범죄자들에 대한 처벌의 수위가 너무 약하다는 여론이 형성되어 있다. 슬프고 안타까운 숭례문 방화 사건이었다.
