Overview

The Catholic Church in Pungsuwon was built mainly by believers who migrated to escape Catholic persecution. Pungsuwon Catholic Church is the 4th Catholic Church built in Korea, and the first Catholic Church built by a Korean priest. The Pungsuwon parish had jurisdiction over 29 public offices in 12 cities and counties, including Chuncheon, Wonju, Hwacheon, Yanggu, Hongcheon, Hoengseong, Pyeongchang, and Yangpyeong. Located in Yuhyeon-ri, Seowon-myeon, Hoengseong-gun, Pungsuwon Catholic Church was designated as a tangible cultural property of Gangwon-do in 1982.
