Unhyeongung Palace was formerly a private residence of Prince Regent Heungseon (1820-1898), the father of Emperor Gojong (the 26th king of the Joseon Dynasty). The young Gojong lived her before he assumed the throne. The royal wedding ceremony of Emperor Gojong and Empress Myeongseong also took place here. During the reign of Emperor Gojong, Unhyeonggung was as grand as any other palace in Seoul, but today's complex is much smaler than its original size due to many of the palace buildings beening heavily damaged and destroyed over time.
