西三陵是史迹第200号以及UNESCO世界文化遗产，朝鲜王朝第11代中宗的继妃章敬王后尹氏的禧陵、第12代仁宗与仁圣王后朴氏的孝陵、第25代哲宗与哲仁王后金氏的睿陵就在此地。本来是130多万坪的广阔的面积，但现在分割为多个地方，只剩下大约7万多坪，其中一半左右是用于保护的非公开地区。西三陵除了3座陵之外，还有正祖的儿子文孝世子的孝昌园、思悼世子的儿子懿昭世孙的懿宁园、仁祖的长子昭显世子的昭庆园与其他后宫、王子、公主、翁主等王室墓51座。

Placenta chamber is a place where you put the placenta and umbilical cord. The place for the placenta chamber was chosen carefully and was guarded by several custodians. This place was Joseon’s first Goyang county office before the tomb was made.

而且，西三陵还有安葬历代国王与王族的胎的胎室。胎室是在王室诞下婴儿的时候，埋葬该胎盘与脐带的石室。供奉胎室的地方是风水地理上的吉祥地，需要慎重挑选，而供奉胎室之后，为了保护，多名专职人员管理。这里是建筑西三陵之前，朝鲜初期最早的高阳郡厅所在地。
