Waegwan Catholic Church, Chilgok Former Main Building of the Chonnam National University

This church was designed by the German priest Alwin Schmid (1904–1978). At a time when most church buildings were built in the so-called stylistic form, this church instead organised its interior and exterior spaces more freely, which is architecturally significant. Great importance can also be attached to the fact that, alongside the church building itself, the design drawings Father Alwin Schmid drew by his own hand still survive today.
