Dapdong Cathedral
답동성당
One of Korea's earliest Catholic churches. Remodeled in 1937 in a Romanesque style with red brick, its facade with three bell towers is very photogenic.
Dapdong Cathedral was founded in 1897 and was the first Catholic church in the Incheon area. Its current Romanesque facade dates from a remodeling in 1937, featuring a tall central bell tower flanked by two smaller bell towers. The red brick and gray roofs give it a distinctly European feel, and it has been designated a National Historic Site. The church is still in use, so visitors should not disturb services, but during other times they can view and photograph the courtyard. Admission is free. It is about a 5-minute walk from Sinpo International Market, and it can be toured together with the market and the Open Port Area.
