Former Baekje Hospital

The red brick building at the end of the original downtown of Busan’s Ibagu-gil is the former Baekje Hospital, the first modern hospital in Busan. Opened in 1922, it was known as the best hospital. However, when it closed in 1932, the building had been used as a Chinese restaurant, Japanese military officers’ accommodation, and the Busan Public Safety Headquarters. Despite having gone through the ups and downs of Busan’s history, it still remains intact to this day. Currently, there is a café on the first floor that has preserved the interior and exterior of the former Baekje Hospital. Let the fragrant scent of coffee take you back to the 1920s. The third floor is occupied by Gallery EB9.
