A space layered with the time and stories of Cheongju

Located at 314 Sangdang-ro, Cheongwon-gu, Cheongju, Chungbuk, the Culture Factory is a remodeled former tobacco factory that has been transformed into a multi-cultural space. The remnants of the old building, such as its chimney and structural materials, blend intriguingly with modern aesthetics, creating an impressive interior. On the first floor, you'll find cafes, restaurants, and commercial spaces, while the upper floors house exhibition and reading areas like the Korea Craft Museum and the Open Library. The Open Library on the 5th floor, in particular, is a serene space where you can enjoy books and art together. Reading tables are set up between the bookshelves, and the window seats bathed in natural light provide a restful spot for both the eyes and the mind. On weekends, the lively atmosphere brought by many visitors is noticeable, but the spacious layout allows for a relaxed exploration of the space.✨ With exhibitions, reading, cafes, and dining all in one place, it’s a perfect destination for a cultural exploration route in Cheongju.🤍 📍 Culture Factory (Main Building), 314 Sangdang-ro, Cheongwon-gu, Cheongju, Chungbuk
