This small building east Jipbokheon House was used as a residence for King Jeongjo (r. 1776-1800) when he stayed in Changgyeonggung Palace. The king did not want any decoration for the house, keeping in mind the poverty his people had to endure, and even didn’t mind staying in a room with a ceiling leak. It was also in this house that he died of a malignant tumor at the age of 49, after a reign of over 24 years.
