Yeongwol Jangneung Royal Tomb [UNESCO World Heritage] (영월 장릉(단종) [유네스코 세계유산])

This site is the tomb of King Danjong (1441-1457), the sixth king of the Joseon dynasty. Unlike typical royal tombs, it is relatively modest and smaller in size. King Danjong's story is tragic one, as he was dethroned by his uncle, who later ascended to the throne as King Sejo of Joseon. Following his usurpation, King Danjong was exiled to Yeongwol, where he was ultimately executed. The site includes a tomb keeper's house and the Danjong History Hall. Additionally, a memorial service commemorating King Danjong is reenacted annually in April.
