As a Romanesque-style brick building with a size of 1,000 m2, the Dapdong Catholic Church is
the oldest western-style modern building in Korea. On the front side, there are three bell towers, and in each towers, there are eight small stone pillars which support an octagonal bell-head dome. Under each bell towers, there is an old wooden entrance. The red bricks on the wall and the white granite stairs harmonize with each other to create a solemn atmosphere. The windows of the church, decorated with stained glass and forming a long arch, are magnificent and beautiful. Going up the stairs behind the church, visitors can see an old fence covered with ivy of such entanglement as to attest to the long history of the church.
