Seungdong Church, Tangible Cultural Heritage in Insa-dong, Seoul, South Korea.
Seungdong Church incorporates traditional Korean architectural elements with round windows and a central entrance facing Bukhansan Mountain in the distance.
The church became a crucial gathering place during the March 1st Independence Movement of 1919, where members organized meetings for Korean independence.
The church building demonstrates the integration of Christian religious practices with Korean architectural traditions in the early twentieth century.
Visitors can reach the church by following the narrow streets from Tapgol Park through the traditional district of Insa-dong.
The church made a progressive statement by appointing a butcher to a leadership position during an era of rigid social hierarchies.
