The private Gyeonghuigung Palace was also called Saemoonan Palace or Seogwol, meaning the palace of the west. Afterwards, it was used as the private residence of the royal family, and in the 8th year of Gwanghaegun (1616), the royal energy was found at the site of Saemunan Palace, so to suppress it, a separate palace was built and it was called Gyeongdeokgung. ), the name of the palace was changed to Gyeonghuigung. Gyeonghuigung Palace had buildings such as Hoeshoejeon, Heungjeongdang, Jipgyeongdang, Sungjeongjeon, and Heunghwamun, but most of them were destroyed by a fire in the 29th year of King Sunjo's reign (1829), so they were rebuilt in 1831. After the invasion of national sovereignty, the building was destroyed and Gyeongseong Middle School (now Seoul High School) was built on the site. After Seoul High School moved to Gangnam in 1987, it was turned into a park. Within the park, there is the Seoul Museum of Art and a walking path, and Heunghwamun Gate, the main gate of Gyeonghuigung Palace, which had been moved to the Shilla Hotel, was moved back to its original location, and restoration work on Sungjeongjeon, the main shrine, was completed in November 1994.
