Gwangneung Royal Tomb is the tomb of King Sejo and Queen Jeonghee. It is the first Joseon Royal Tomb created in the Dongwon-igangneung style of sharing the T-shaped repository for ceremonial ware but sitting on two different hills. According to King Sejo’s will, the room inside Gwangneung Royal Tomb was made of Hoegyeok(filling lime around a coffin in a grave pit) instead of a stone chamber. This reduced the cost and number of labors of building the royal tomb, and it was applied to all royal tomb construction after Gwangneung Royal Tomb.
