Overview

Jungdong Catholic Church, the first of its kind in the Gongju, was constructed in 1897 in the Gothic-style from the transitional period between traditional wooden architecture and modern architecture. The church features a cruciform layout with a red brick exterior. A tall bell tower crowns the central entrance, while pointed arches adorn the upper parts of the doorways and windows. Inside, the simple decorations and stained glass windows create a serene and graceful ambiance.
