Summary
- This is the headquarters of Cheondogyo, a 4-story red brick building. Designated as Seoul Tangible Cultural Property No. 36.
-
Seoul Tangible Cultural Property No. 36. The church is a house where religious ceremonies and general events of Cheondogyo are held. There are many Cheondogyo churches, but there is no specific architectural style. And it is never regarded as sacred like the sanctuary, cathedral, or chapel of other religions. It becomes a sacred space when various religious ceremonies are held, but it returns to secularity when general events are held. Therefore, various political rallies, art performances, lectures, and even banquets can be held here.
On April 5, 1918, the Cheondogyo Departmental General Assembly decided to build a new church, and the opening ceremony was held on December 1 of the same year. It was completed in February and moved in on February 28th to reach today. This year, as it celebrates the 101st anniversary of its completion, it can be said that it has a special meaning. -
