Donggureung (Korean: 동구릉; Hanja: 東九陵; lit. east nine tombs), is a cluster of royal tombs from the Joseon dynasty, the largest of its kind in South Korea. 17 Joseon kings and queens are buried here. The cluster also houses a myo-type tomb (of a royal family member). It is located in Guri, Gyeonggi Province.[1][2][3][4][5]
The construction was ordered by King Taejong in 1408 and the ninth tomb was placed there in 1855.[2]
