Su Cathedral

Su Cathedral is a shrine dedicated together to the goddess who rules the West Sea and her eight daughters. According to legend, the sea goddess married off one daughter to each province of Korea and lived on with only her youngest daughter, measuring the depths of the West Sea to protect the lives of fishermen. This building, said to have been built in 1804, the fourth year of King Sunjo of Joseon, is a single-bay tile-roofed hall that has served as a shrine for several hundred years. Every year, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the villagers of Gyeokpo lay out fruit of three colours together with simple offerings of wine, fruit and dried meat, and hold a solemn rite praying for a bountiful catch and safety from accidents.
