Hyehwa-dong church, Catholic church in Hyehwa-dong, Seoul.
The Hyehwa-dong Church features a cubic design that creates a large integrated interior space, departing from traditional gothic cruciform structures.
The church building was established in 1927 when the Order of Saint Benedict departed, and underwent reconstruction in 1960 to accommodate a growing congregation.
The church represents a shift in Korean religious architecture, combining Western Catholic design elements with local architectural principles in the early 20th century.
Located at 288 Changgyeonggung-ro in Jongno-gu, the church remains active with regular services and welcomes visitors interested in religious heritage.
Architect Lee Hui-tae incorporated innovative design elements that transformed the building from a formal institution into an integrated public gathering space.
