Changchung Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Songyo-guyok, North Korea.

The white stone cathedral stands as one of four official Christian places of worship in Pyongyang, featuring traditional Korean architectural elements.

The original cathedral from the late 19th century was destroyed during the Korean War, leading to the construction of this new building in 1988.

The cathedral represents the Catholic presence in North Korea through the Korean Catholic Association, operating independently from the Vatican's authority.

South Korean priests conduct Mass services on major religious holidays following a 2015 agreement between North and South Korean Catholic organizations.

The cathedral manages a noodle factory that receives financial support from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Seoul and Korean-Americans.
