A single-storey wooden hall built in 1905, first a Japanese Buddhist temple under colonial rule, later a church for decades after liberation. It became a registered cultural heritage site in 2007 and has hosted exhibitions and events as the Ogeori Culture Center since 2010. The tiled roof and low eaves sit right in the old-town lanes, a natural stop on a walk past the modern-era buildings.
