Yeon-gyeong-dang

About the house Yeon-gyeong-dang is located at the garden of Changdeok-gung Palace, usually called 'Secret Garden', in Seoul. It was built in 1828 by a king of Choseon dynasty, Sunjo, for his prince to experience the life of Confucian scholars. So, it has the typical and formal composition of the high class house in Choseon dynasty. However, it doesn't have Sadang, the Ancestral Shrine, since it was located in the precincts of the Royal Palace. It is composed of a set of buildings and yards; Inner Building (An-chae), Outer Building (Sarang-chae), Servants' Building (Haengrang-chae), library named Seonhyang-jae, food service building named Banbit-gan, and Jeongja named Nongsu-jeong.
