Information:
The early form of church architecture was mostly hanok (Korean traditional houses) style as it was the time when missionary activities were just settling.
As most leaders of the congregation were Westerners, they felt uncomfortable in these Korean-style buildings and started building Western-style churches.
As a result, most of the Korean-style churches either disappeared or underwent reconstruction.
  However, Ganggyeong Bugok Methodist Church has kept its Korean-style building to this day, making it a very unique and valuable piece of architecture.
This building is regarded as an important material for studying the technological transition from the traditional to the modern. - Owned by The Korean Methodist Church - Size and structure: One above-ground level (site area: 303.6㎡ / building area: 118.8㎡), Korean-style wooden structure.
