Jangneung is a UNESCO World Heritage site in Paju, Gyeonggi, South Korea. It is a Joseon Dynasty royal tomb where King Injo and Queen Inyeol are buried.
The tomb was originally built in 1635 in Uncheon-ri (운천리), Paju, but due to a fire scorpions and snakes found refuge in the sculptures surrounding the tomb and thus the relocation became necessary. In 1731 it was moved to Galhyeon-ri. As characteristic of 17th century Korean art, the tomb is decorated with peony and lotus design.
