Gyesan Cathedral, Gothic Revival cathedral in Daegu, South Korea.

The Cathedral of Our Lady of Lourdes features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, with stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes throughout.

French missionaries initiated the construction of this religious building in 1922, completing the project in 1935 during a period of Christian expansion in Korea.

The cathedral hosts regular Catholic masses in Korean, maintaining religious traditions while incorporating local elements into its liturgical celebrations and ceremonies.

Located near downtown Daegu, the cathedral opens its doors daily for prayer, with guided tours available upon request at the administrative office.

The structure combines European Gothic Revival design principles with early 20th-century Korean construction techniques, resulting in distinct architectural characteristics.
