Okcheon Catholic Church

The original church building is presumed to have been built in 1945 or 1948, while the present church is a Western-style building rebuilt in 1955 by an American priest of the Maryknoll Missionary Society. It initially had a rectangular, hall-type floor plan, but in 1991 the rear wall was removed and a transept and an apse for the altar were added, changing the plan to a cross shape. The walls are built of cement brick finished with cement spray-coating; at the front is a vestibule with a gabled roof and an arched entrance, with a bell tower placed at the centre.
