It was formerly called Gyeongdokgung but was renamed Gyeonghuigung in 1760 during the reign of King Yeongjo. Gyeonghuigung was originally composed of many buildings including Sungjeongjeon and Jipkyeongdang, as well as Hunghwamun Gate, but in 1829 (the 29th year of King Sunjo's reign) most of them were destroyed by a fire. They were renovated in 1831. In 1910, when Korea was annexed by Japan, the remaining buildings were moved to other places and Gyeongseong Junior High School, the predecessor of Seoul High School, was built. In 1987, the Seoul City Government opened the area as a park after Seoul High School was relocated to the south of the Han River. In the park ground, there are Seoul City Art Gallery, an athletic field and a promenade. Heunghwamun, the main gate, was brought back to its original location and Sungjeongjeon, the main hall, was restored in Novemver, 1994.
