    A beautiful old catholic church in the historical old town of Jeonju. Owing to the Christmas holidays only believers were allowed to visit the church.

    It is the martyrdom of Korean Catholicism and one of the three major cathedrals. It is also a sacred place for democratization in Korea.

    Nice European architecture in the middle of a Korean old town. Closes by 5pm and you wouldn’t not even be allowed to enter the grounds to take photos of the exterior

    Cathedral in Jeonju that rivals Myeondong church in Seoul in its beauty. It’s located right next to the hanbok village and I saw many people losing in the front in hanboks. There’s a gift shop to the left of the church where you can buy rosaries and other items. No photos allowed inside. It’s quite and serene. Perfect for contemplation and prayer.

    Old Catholic Church which is more than a century. The outlook might be humble but inside of it has a classic, magnificent beauty of catholic architecture. It’s a landmark figure in Jeonju han-ok village. It would be much better if there is a tour guide who can explain more about it. I heard it has a long history related with religion. Looking back at the religious history of Korea it was never easy to settle down in Korea. A pamphlet written in English might be a great help to know about this place.

    It closes 5p.m. but you can take a picture only the architecture without a person. It's more simple and wonderful than with people. You can enter for free. 입장료없음/ 동절기 17시 폐쇄

    A beautiful Catholic Cathedral, it is not to big but very homie, feel so calm and peaceful there. For people with extra size as i am, it will be a bit hard to kneel and pray

    As a devout-wanna-be Catholic, I enjoy visiting new churches. I got a chance to look around Han-ok village and the first place I'd look was this church. I attended the Mass too. There were about 50 believers at this time; most of them were senior citizens. You know, during the weekdays, not so many young people can come. However they sang so beautiful that I asked myself "Man, there's a choir in here?" The Gospel was the Jesus' parable about vineyard(MT 20:1-16) and after Gospel reading, the reverend gave a nice homily. After the Mass I took some pictures around the parish. There were also a lot of people taking pictures, for this is one beautiful church. Thanks God for giving me a nice chance to visit this church.

    Very nice from the outside. They didn’t charge for only being outside. I don’t think they were letting people inside today.

    Very nice building, and it would be much better if they allow people to sit in and to enyoy the religious environment.

    A beautiful cathedral. Step in the side door to take a break from touring the village and offer prayer.

    We just stopped by for a short walk. I think in summer time it's nice to chill next to the water 💦
