창경궁은 1483년 창덕궁 동쪽에 세워진 궁으로,
성종이 정희왕후, 안순왕후, 소혜왕후를 위해 수강궁을 확장하면서 창경궁이라는 이름을 붙였다.

1983년, 동물원을 이전하고 다시 창경궁으로 부르기 시작했다.

환경전(歡慶殿)

환경전은 1544년 중종이 숨을 거둔 장소다.(드라마 대장금의 임호씨..ㅎㅎ 역활)
의녀들 중 유일하게 중종의 주치의 역할을 했다.
중종은 대신들의 불만에도 아랑곳하지 않고 의원보다 대장금을 신뢰해 마지막까지
자신의 진료를 맡겼던 것으로 알려져 있다.‘중종실록’에 그 기록이 남아 있는데
그 역사의 장소가 환경전이다.

Changgyeonggung Palace,

one of the "Five Grand Palaces" built during the Joseon Dynasty, holds a significant place in Korean history. It was originally constructed in 1418 by King Sejong the Great for his retiring father, King Taejong. Over the centuries, it underwent several renovations and expansions.

The palace showcases a blend of traditional Korean architectural styles with its beautiful wooden structures, pavilions, and picturesque gardens. Notable buildings within the palace grounds include Tongmyeongjeon, Munjeongjeon, and Haminjeong.

Throughout its history, Changgyeonggung Palace served various purposes. It functioned as a royal residence for queens and concubines, hosted state banquets, and housed a royal library. Additionally, important state functions were held at this palace.

During the Japanese colonial period in Korea (1910-1945), Changgyeonggung Palace suffered damage and neglect like many other historical sites. Some parts of the palace were repurposed under the name Changgyeongweon.

After Korea's liberation from Japanese rule in 1945, efforts were made to restore Changgyeonggung Palace to its original state. Today, it is recognized as an important cultural heritage site that reflects Korea's rich history.

Visitors to Changgyeonggung Palace can explore its various buildings, gardens, and ponds within the palace grounds. The palace is particularly enchanting during spring when cherry blossoms bloom and autumn when leaves change color.

Cultural events and performances are often held at the palace to provide visitors with an opportunity to experience traditional Korean music, dance, and other forms of cultural heritage.

Changgyeonggung Palace stands as a testament to Korea's architectural prowess and serves as a window into its vibrant history and cultural legacy.
