Located at the corner of Seoul's busiest downtown intersection, Deoksugung Palace is famous for its elegant stone-wall road. It is also the only palace that sits alongside a series of western style buildings that add to the uniqueness of the surrounding scenery. Deoksugung Palace originally belonged to Wolsandaegun (1454-1488), the older brother of King Seongjong (1469-1494) of the Joseon Dynasty. It became a proper palace when Gwanghaegun (1575-1641) ascended to the throne and gave this royal residence the name Gyeongungung Palace in 1611. Over the following decades, the palace alternated between being an official palace and a temporary residence. The name did not official change to Deoksugung Palace, meaning the “palace of virtuous longevity,” until 1907. While the palace incompassed a vast area with many buildings, the current palace grounds are just a small shadow of the prior splendor, with very few structures remaining.

일반적으로 알려진 덕수궁 석어당은 덕수궁 내의 유일한 이층건물이다.
1904년의 화재로 소실되었던 것을 같은 해에 다른 전각들과 함께 중건했다.
원래의 석어당은 임란 때 선조가 피난으로부터 환도하여 승하할 때까지 16년간 거처하였던 곳이다.
인목대비가 광해군을 이 건물 앞뜰에 꿇어 앉혀 죄를 책한 곳이기도 하다.

덕수궁이 4대궁궐중 가장 대중교통으로 접근하기가 편리한 곳이다. 지하철 1호선과 2호선에 근접해 있고 서울의 중심부에 위치해 있어 인사동, 삼청동 등 가기가 편리하다.
