Wonju Bangok Station

Bangok Station is an old railway station located in Bangok-dong, Wonju, Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province, and it is a station on the Jungang Line that began operations in 1941. It is a modern cultural heritage designated as a registered cultural property in 2005 and is owned by Korea Railroad Corporation. It is also a historic site where the Korean War saw the station seized by the People's Army and fighting take place, and it has since continued to play various roles amid changes of the times, including the suspension of small freight handling and the resumption of passenger services. Although it became a closed station after the opening of the new Jungang Line in 2021, the old station building reopened as an art museum in 2009 and is used as a cultural space for local residents. In particular, in spring the cherry blossoms in full bloom around the station create a beautiful landscape, and it is known as one of Wonju's representative cherry blossom spots. The atmosphere of the old railway station, art, and nature come together, making it a great place to take a walk and spend a relaxing time.
