Sareung Royal Tomb
Sareung Royal Tomb holds the tomb of Queen Jeongsun. She was the wife of King Danjong, the 6th king of the Joseon Dynasty. King Danjong was only 12 when he became King and just two years later he was overthrown in a coup by Sejong the Great’s second son, King Sejo. King Danjong and Queen Jeongsun were banished from the area and a few years later, in fear of King Danjon returning to regain power, he was murdered. Queen Jeongsun was distraught and later moved back to Seoul and built a small thatched cottage outside Dongdaemun Gate where she continued to mourn her husband until she died at the age of 82, without leaving an heir.
Sareung Royal Tomb is not open to the public.
