Deoksu Palace vividly contrasts with the other nearby palaces like Changdeok Palace. Built during the mid-15th century, the architecture of the buildings inside are heavily influenced by Western designs. Hence, you will see a fusion of Korean and Western architecture. The stone-wall narrow way around the palace is a beautiful and famous path for the lovers, although there was a myth that they would break up when they visit, because the Family court, which people go to get divorced, was located near here. You can go now since it moved to Seocho-gu.
