Jeondong Cathedral, Roman Catholic cathedral in Jeonju, South Korea
The stone and brick cathedral combines Romanesque and Byzantine architectural elements with a tall bell tower and Gothic windows spanning three floors.
French missionary Baudenet purchased the land in 1891, and construction of the cathedral was completed in 1914 on the site of early Catholic martyrdom.
The cathedral stands at the entrance of Jeonju Hanok Village, creating a notable architectural contrast between Eastern and Western religious structures.
The cathedral opens daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with shorter hours during winter, and offers guided tours in multiple languages.
The building incorporates gray and red bricks on a granite foundation, representing the first Romanesque structure in the Honam region.
