 Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty - UNESCO World Heritage Centre
There are two types of tombs of the royal family during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910): Neung is the tomb of the kings and queens and of the kings and queens posthumously designated; and Won is the tomb of Crown Princes and their wives, and of the royal parents.
The Neungs and Wons of the Joseon Dynasty, with the exceptions of Jangneung in Yeongwol-gun County, Gangwon-do Province and Yeongneung and Nyeongneung in Yeoju-gun County, Gyeonggi-do Province, are all located within 40km of the capital of Hanyang (current day Seoul).
Gwangneung shows important changes in the construction of royal tombs in the Joseon Dynasty: in accordance with the last wishes of the king, no screening rocks were installed, the outer coffin stone was replaced with hardened quicklime, and the reverential access was not built, showing a virtue of frugality.
