      The palace attained all necessary facilities and systems commensurate with its status as Joseon's primary palace during the reign of King Sejong.

However, many of the structures were removed during the Japanese colonial rule (1908-1945).
      The Cultural Heritage Administration has been restoring the palace since 1990. First of all, the old Japanese government-general building was dismantled and Heungnyemun and its cloisters were reconstructed. The bedchambers of the king and the queen, named Gangnyeongjeon and Gyotaejeon, as well as Donggung, or the East Palace, the residence of crown prince, were restored. Currently, Gwanghwamun, the palace's main gate, is being rebuilt. Thus, the palace is regaining its old splendor.
