The Taehwa Palace site in Ryongchu-dong No. 2 of Ryongsong District in Pyongyang is one of the royal palace buildings from the Koryo period (918-1392).

The heritage site is largely divided into two palace sections.

Many building sites, tiles, bricks and other building parts and elements, earthenware and ironware dating back to the Koryo period have been unearthed there.

Most noticeable in the heritage site are several royal palace and corridor sites, well-ordered water supply facilities, the retaining walls elaborately built with flower-patterned bricks, the palace courtyard and roads in the premises neatly covered with floor tiles, and various kinds of antefixes with different patterns and dragon-shaped Korean ornamental roof tiles. They all encapsulate the development of excellent Koryo architecture in the first half of the 12th century.
