Seolleung & Jeongneung Royal Tomb
The Seonjeongneung is the burial grounds of two Joseon Dynasty kings and one Joseon queen. The westernmost tomb belongs to King Seongjong (1469–1494), the ninth king of the Joseon dynasty. His wife, Queen Jeonghyeon (1462–1530), from the Yun family, is buried here. Her grave has a stone fence encircling the mound, whereas her husband's tomb, on the left, has a retaining wall as well. Statues of civilian and military officials and their horses stand at attention in front of the graves. Queen Jeonghyeon had a deep interest in Buddhism and founded the nearby temple Bongeunsa. The other tomb on the site is Jeongneung tomb, located at the easternmost of the site. This is the burial ground of King Jungjong, the 11th king of Joseon (1506–1544).
