A complex of cultural spaces was created through the two-yearrestoration work of Gyeongseong Station after the old station was closed in 2004. Based on pictures from the time, the interior of the structure 100 years ago has been faithfully reproduced. The number 284 in the name is the historical number of the old station and was designated in 1981 in recognition of its historical value. It is a European style building with red brick, granite floors, artificial stone walls and birch floors.
