This historic palace often served as a residence for queens and concubines. Renovated and renamed by King Seongjong (r. 1469–1494), Changgyeonggung Palace later became a zoological and botanical park during Japanese colonial rule. In 1983, the palace was restored to its former glory, preserving its rich history and grandeur.

Renamed Tegosa Temple in 1936, it was later reestablished as Jogyesa Temple in 1954, following a purification effort to eliminate Japanese influence and revive traditional Buddhism.
