Located in 725 Gwanbuk-ri, Buyeo-eup, Buyeo-gun, this site is known as a royal palace site. In September 1983, 33 lots (covering 2,102 square meters) out of a total of 184 lots (covering 95,048 square meters) to the south of the Buyeo National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage were designated as Chungcheongnam-do Monument No. 43 Palace Site of Baekje. Starting 1982, Chungnam National University Museum excavated the site five times. In 1983, a rectangular pond with stone embankments was discovered; in 1988, an earthenware vessel with the inscription “buksa” on the mouth was found. In 1992, traces of Baekje roads and gutters were identified in a spot about 50m south of where the Buyeo National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage stands today. Among the royal palaces of the Three Kingdoms Period, only the location of Anhakgung Palace of Goguryeo has been found; the exact locations are unknown for the palaces from Baekje or Silla. The discovery of part of a site from Baekje in Sabi (Buyeo), the last capital of Baekje, carries great academic value.
