Jangneung (Injo)

Jangneung (Korean: 장릉; Hanja: 長陵) is a burial ground from the Joseon dynasty, where King Injo and his first wife, Queen Inyeol, were entombed.

[1] Located in Paju, Gyeonggi Province, it is recognized as an UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It was originally built in 1635 in Uncheon-ri, Paju, but due to a fire, scorpions and snakes found refuge in the sculptures surrounding the tomb and thus the relocation became necessary.

In 1731 it was moved to Galhyeon-ri.

As characteristic of 17th century Korean art, the tomb is decorated with peony and lotus design.
