KOREA HERITAGE SERVICE [KHS] The Korea Heritage Digital Service is a service that releases various national heritage data, so that companies, regions, and the public can easily find high-quality national heritage data. It is expected to be of great help to the public as well as companies, local governments, universities and research institutes by releasing national heritage data such as 3D data, drawings, photos, reports and videos that are difficult for the public to access. You can easily access the data by using conditional search functions such as designated items, regions, eras and production years, and also can easily check information such as 3D scanned videos and web VR contents provided by Korea Heritage Service through services such as '3D Asset' and 'Theme Contents'. Donhwamun Gate is the main gate of Changdeokgung Palace. The name "Donhwa" means "to edify people with virtues." Donhwamun Gate was established in 1412 (the 12th year of King Taejong). Because Jongmyo Shrine was in front of the palace at that time, the entrance was built southwest of the palace. Donhwamun Gate was rebuilt in 1609 (the 1st year of King Gwanghaegun) after being destroyed in the Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592. It’s a two-story structure—the largest among other palace gates. Woldae, a wide stone platform, is laid in front of the gate, demonstrating the dignity of the palace.
