Temporary Palace Site at Bukhansanseong Fortress

The temporary palace at Bukhansanseong Fortress was located at a strategic point outside the capital's walls. Along with the temporary palaces at Namhansanseong Fortress and Ganghwa, it was a temporary palace built in preparation for wartime unrest, and it was constructed specifically to express the resolve to defend the capital, giving it a significance distinct from other temporary palaces and making it an important heritage site of great historical and academic value. The temporary palace at Bukhansanseong Fortress is also a valuable site through which one can examine the ruling class's sense of the state and concern for the people in the late Joseon period. Although no trace of the palace's original appearance remains above ground today, a surface survey conducted in 1999 exposed remains that reveal its former layout, and further remains lie buried underground, making it an important site.
