Subun Chapel of Jangsu Catholic Church

This building served as the centre of faith in Subun-ri, a village of Catholic refugees who had fled here from other areas and formed a community of believers after the Byeongin Persecution of 1866. It measures three kan across the front and six kan deep, and its interior follows a typical basilica plan, with two rows of columns clearly dividing the space into a nave and aisles. Overall, it retains relatively well the appearance of a Korean-style (hanok) Catholic church of the 1920s.
