Former Dongbonwonsa Temple, Mokpo Branch

Built in the 1930s, this building served as the worship hall of a Japanese Buddhist temple, and from 1957 until recently it was used as a church. It presents a rare exterior that renders the architectural design elements of a Japanese wooden Buddhist hall in stone. The space used for worship at the front of the main hall was given the form of a porch-like entrance, and the roof above it is finished in the form of a Japanese-style gable roof. The interior of the building is now used as an exhibition and cultural facility.
