Ganggyeong Catholic Church

Ganggyeong Catholic Church was built in 1961 and is a church building notable for its modern treatment, including an interior formed with pointed-arch beams that was an unusual structural method for its time. It was designed and supervised by Father Bodeubaeng (1897–1976), a priest with a deep knowledge of architecture, and it retains well the structure and form it had when built, while its conditions for preservation and use remain good. It is assessed as having high architectural and religious-historical value for departing from the typical building methods of the period and using an arch-type structural frame to create a large interior space.
