Jukrimdong Cathedral

Jukrimdong Cathedral is a Catholic church in Chuncheon built with Gothic architectural features in stone, including arched windows and a vertical structure spread across multiple levels. Stained glass windows fill the interior with colored light and detailed stonework decorates the walls throughout the building.

The building received official recognition as a Registered Cultural Property of the Republic of Korea in 2003, marking its importance as an architectural work. This status reflects how the structure has been valued by the nation for its design and construction.

The cathedral functions as the central religious institution for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Chuncheon, hosting regular services and religious ceremonies.

The cathedral is accessible in Chuncheon and welcomes visitors who wish to explore its architecture and interior spaces. Planning your visit outside service times allows you to view the building without interruption and appreciate the details of the stonework and windows.

The name Jukrimdong means Bamboo Forest, a reference to the natural landscape that once surrounded this area of Chuncheon before the city developed. This naming choice preserves the memory of the environment that existed before construction changed the neighborhood.
