Haengju Catholic Church, Goyang

Built in 1910 as a church in the traditional Korean hanok style, it was relocated to its present site in 1928, at which time most of the original structural members then in use, including the ridge-beam timber, were reused. A ridge-raising inscription written in ink recording an extension carried out in 1949 also survives, so the building's history of change is well documented. In the timber frame forming the building's skeleton, the sections from the original construction and from the later extension are both well preserved, so the building retains its historical character well.
