Description

Jeongneung Royal Tomb is the tomb of Queen Sindeok (神德王后, 1356-1396), of the Gang family. She was the second lawful wife of the founder King Taejo of the Joseon Dynasty. When Queen Sindeok died suddenly, King Taejo chose this site as her royal tomb. After burying her, he chose a spot right next to his late wife’s grave for his own burial ground in the future.
