An outstanding palatial garden pond of Gunnamji of Bekje Kingdom was constructed by King Muwang in A.D. 643. Today's small pond is considered to exist just in the original location with a scale-down composition. Recently, several excavations clarified many facts related to the original composition of the garden pond. And, we analyzed and made some historical consideration based on the facts and related historical information. Then, we estimated the original composition of the garden including related buildings, and also the water supplying way and its techniques. And, finally the scheme of the King was discussed related to the defense of castle town and to the landscape formation.
