Standing on a hillside beside the road not far from the Workers' Party Headquarters, this church was largely destroyed during the Korean War, and only traces remain. Thick walls of volcanic stone and cement survive, offering a glimpse of the original structure. During the war it served as a meeting place for anti-communist Christian youth, and the site also carries the history of the March First Independence Movement.
