Donggureung, meaning "East Nine Royal Tombs", is a cluster of Joseon Dynasty royal tombs, the largest of its kind in South Korea. 17 Joseon kings and queens are buried here. The cluster houses a myo type tomb (of a royal family member), as well. The cluster is located in Guri, Gyeonggi-do.
The construction of the cluster was ordered by Taejong of Joseon in 1408 and the ninth tomb was placed there in 1855.
