The Japanese General Government Building (Korean: 조선총독부 청사, Joseon-chongdokbu Cheongsa), also known as the Government-General Building and the Seoul Capitol, was a building located in Jongno District of Seoul, South Korea, from 1926 to 1996. The Government-General Building was constructed by the Empire of Japan on the site of the Gyeongbokgung complex, the royal palace of the Joseon, and was the largest government building in East Asia. The Government-General Building served as the chief administrative building of Chōsen and the seat of its Governor-General in Keijō from 1926 until 1945. The Government-General Building was the scene of numerous important events after South Korean independence in 1948, becoming the seat of the National Assembly of South Korea and housing offices of the Government of South Korea until 1950 when it was damaged during the Korean War and intentionally left derelict. President Park Chung-hee restored the Government-General Building from 1962 for government functions until the early 1980s and housed the National Museum of South Korea from 1986. The Government-General Building was controversially planned for demolition in 1993, long felt to be a symbol of Japanese imperialism and impeding reconstruction of Gyeongbokgung, and was demolished from 1995 to 1996.
