Old Seoul Station was completed in 1925. This red brick building features a Byzantine-style central dome and a centralized and symmetrical layout. In 1981 the old station was designated as Historic Site #284.

In 2004 the new Seoul Station was erected adjacent to the existing station, completed to facilitate KTX high-speed rail service. In 2011 Old Seoul Station was reopened after a two-year restoration project as a cultural complex keeping its original exterior with venues for performances, exhibitions and events, and a multipurpose hall on the upper level.
