Originally constructed in 1410 and reconstructed in 1614, this palace is home to shrines, storehouses and guardrooms relating to the Confucian rituals once held here. There is also a replica portrait of Yi Seong-gye, the founder of the Joseon dynasty (1392–1910), whose family came from Jeonju. Portraits of six other Joseon monarchs, and palanquins, are also on display in the Royal Portrait Museum . English tours are held at 11am and 2pm daily.
