Changchung Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Songyo-guyok, North Korea.
Changchung Cathedral is a white stone church building in Songyo-guyok and stands as one of four official Christian worship sites in Pyongyang. The structure combines traditional Korean architectural elements with religious design.
The original cathedral dating from the late 1800s was destroyed during the Korean War. The current building was reconstructed in 1988.
The cathedral represents the Catholic presence in North Korea through the Korean Catholic Association, operating independently from the Vatican's authority.
Access to the building is controlled by local authorities and requires prior approval for visitors. Religious services take place at specific times, so checking current visiting hours beforehand is helpful.
The site manages a noodle factory that receives financial support from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Seoul and Korean-Americans. This practical operation helps sustain the religious community economically.
