Yangju Cultural Center

Located near the Gyeonggi Provincial Government Northern Office, Yangju Cultural Center is a place dedicated to preserving and developing the local history, culture, and traditions of Yangju. It carries out projects such as discovering and preserving local historical materials, organizing creative local cultural festivals, promoting cultural content exchange between regions, conducting cultural education programs, and revitalizing living culture and arts. Established in 1961 under the Local Cultural Center Promotion Act, it originally opened in Dongducheon-eup, Yangju.

The center is equipped with lecture rooms, multipurpose rooms, and other facilities, and operates various cultural events and educational programs. It takes about 30 minutes by car from Songchu IC.
