About

Paldang Station opened for service as an ordinary station on April 1, 1939. Its long, rectangular station building runs alongside the tracks on the platform, a layout rarely seen in Korea, which gives it particular rarity value. The exterior has kept much of its original form. Inside, the front section served as the waiting room and the rear section as an office and night-duty room. Although the interior has been somewhat altered, the main structural elements remain intact, making the building an important resource for understanding railway station architecture of the time.
