Culture Station Seoul 284
A beautiful example of adaptive reuse, Culture Station Seoul 284 transforms the historic former Seoul Station building into a vibrant cultural space. Constructed in 1925 during the Japanese colonial period, this iconic red-brick structure served as Seoul's main railway station for over 80 years before being designated as Korea's Historic Site No. 284.
