The Royal Palace (official name "Haw Kham", (ラーオ語:ຫໍຄຳ) (:hɔ̌ɔ.kʰám)) in Luang Prabang, Laos, was built in 1904 during the French colonial era for King Sisavang Vong and his family. The site for the palace was chosen so that official visitors to Luang Prabang could disembark from their river voyages directly below the palace and be received there. After the death of King Sisavang Vong, the Crown Prince Savang Vatthana and his family were the last to occupy the grounds. In 1975, the monarchy was overthrown by the communists and the Royal Family were taken to re-education camps. The palace was then converted into a national museum. ==The Grounds== On the palace grounds, there are other several buildings surrounding the palace which includes: *The Kitchen/Storage *The Royal Barge Shelter *Conference Hall *Haw Pha Bang *Staff headquarters There is a lotus pond on the grounds and also two cannons at the entrance of the palace. Also, a statue of King Sisavang Vong stands on the ground, outside the conference hall. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Royal Palace, Luang Prabang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
