Old Russian Legation, Seoul

서울 · Historic Sites

The Old Russian Legation in Seoul is a relic of a modern Western-style diplomatic building on the hill in Jeongdong, Jung District, Seoul, South Korea. It was also a historic site where King Gojong of Joseon sought refuge during the A-gwan Pacheon incident. Built in 1890, this two-story brick building with a tower was mostly destroyed during the Korean War, and today only part of the basement and a three-story observation tower remain, overlooking Deoksugung Palace and downtown Seoul. The surrounding area has been developed into Jeongdong Park and walking routes connected to the Gojong’s Road trail, making it one of the representative places to experience modern and contemporary Korean history together with the cityscape.
