Daehan Imperial House Program: Jagyeongjeon Hall Imbued with Filial Piety

Jagyeongjeon Hall of Gyeongbokgung Palace means “appreciate the blessings of one's mother,” and was built by Emperor Gojong for his adoptive mother, Queen Mother Sinjeong of the Pungyang Jo clan, when he restored Gyeongbokgung Palace in 1867.
