Daejojeon Hall was the queen’s residence at Changdeokgung Palace.
Originally built in 1405 (5th year of King Taejo’s reign during the Joseon Dynasty), the hall had been destroyed by fires multiple times since then.
The current structure is the one rebuilt in 1920 with materials taken from Gyotaejeon Hall at Gyeongbokgung Palace after being burnt down in 1917.
Daejeojeon is differentiated from other palace buildings in that it has no ridge on the roof.
The center bedroom is surrounded by small-sized rooms for court ladies to attend to the king and the queen.
