About
This place
This description was machine-translated from the Korea Tourism Organization's Korean original.
This building, presumed to have been erected in 1945 or 1948, is a Western-style church built by an American priest of the Maryknoll Foreign Mission Society. Initially it had a rectangular auditorium-type plan, but in 1991 the rear wall of the church was removed and a transept and altar apse were added, changing it to a cruciform plan. It is finished with cement brick masonry and cement spray coating, with a gabled roof at the front, a vestibule with an arched entrance, and a bell tower placed at the center.
