The Asian king with a European sweet tooth; King Gojong of the Joseon Dynasty loved to have European cakes and coffee in the cool shade of Deoksuguru Palace, which became his main palace from its earlier status of a subsidiary one. The architecture reflects western Neoclassical influences blended into Korean structures. One of the 'Five Grand Palaces' built by the monarchs of the Joseon Dynasty only to be heavily destroyed during the Japanese occupation of Korea, this palace is a treasure left behind by time. History leaves its mark here. The embellished throne and the folding screen, which reflects the emblems of royalty will be etched in South Korean history for years to come. As travelers, we can only stop by to admire.
