Why go

Bukpyeong Catholic Church in Donghae, Gangwon-do, is a Korean Catholic church with significant heritage value — built during the early 20th century in a distinctive architectural style. The church remains a working religious community while preserving its historical architecture. For travelers serious about Korean Catholic heritage architecture and willing to step beyond the major martyr-memorial sites, Bukpyeong Catholic Church is one of the cleaner specialty single picks. Pair with broader East Sea coastal trips.
