Parts of Joseon-era 'royal shrine' unveiled

A researcher shows a dissembled part of Gwanwoldang, a building believed to be a royal shrine from the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), at the Korea Foundation for Traditional Architecture and Technology in Paju, just north of Seoul, on July 23, 2025. The unveiling of materials for making the shrine came after Kotoku-in Temple in Kamakura, near Tokyo, signed a deal in June with the Korea Heritage Service and the Overseas Korean Cultural Heritage Foundation to cede the disassembled building to South Korea 100 years after it was taken to Japan.
