Information Introduction The old building of the Seoul train station was designed by Tsukamoto Yasushi, a professor of Tokyo University
Construction of the station started in June, 1922 and was completed in September, 1925
Due to its unique domed roof and large size, the station attracted much attention in its early years
After Korea regained its independence from under Japanese colonial rule, the station’s name was changed from ‘Gyeongseong Station’ to ‘Seoul Station’
During the Korean War, the station was partially destroyed but later restored
After Korea began industrializing after the war, the South annex and West annex were constructed to handle the increasing transportation volume
In 2004 when the privately-funded new station was constructed, the old station closed down, but after reconstruction in 2011 opened as a multicultural space called ‘Culture Station Seoul 284’
The main section (Jungang Hall) is for performances, exhibitions, events, and cafés, while the 2nd floor houses a hall that serves as a venue for cultural performances, exhibitions, academic seminars, business meetings, and more
