The palace dates back to the early 15th century CE and was built on the orders of King Taejong of the Joseon Dynasty (1392CE – 1910CE) of Korea. It was designed to consist of a number of official and residential buildings set against the topographical features of the area, aligned to pungsu (traditional Korean geomancy) principles. Noteworthy too is the inclusion of an expansive garden – the Biwon, or Secret Garden – as part of the palace grounds. Originally a secondary palace, Changdeokgung became the seat of Joseon political power following its rebuilding after a Japanese invasion in the 16th century destroyed the Korean palaces and thence, became influential of Korean architecture, landscaping, and arts.
