Red brick walls, a round dome and a bell tower. Construction began in 1908, the exterior was done in 1914 and the church was consecrated in 1931. Father Victor Poinel, a French priest, handled the design. The ground is where Yun Ji-chung and Kwon Sang-yeon were executed in 1791, which gives the building its weight among the hanok. It is Historic Site No. 288.
