Gamgok Maegoe Pilgrimage Site, the first cathedral in Chungbuk Province built in 1896👍🏻

It is the first Maegoe Cathedral built in Chungbuk and the 18th cathedral in Korea. 🙂 The current Western-style Gothic cathedral was rebuilt in the 1930s and was registered as a tangible cultural asset of Chungcheongbuk-do in 1996. The last photo is the Virgin Mary Square and the Virgin Mary Grotto. It is located at the very top of the cathedral. It is said that this square was the site where the Japanese tried to build a shrine without consent during the Japanese colonial period. *Free parking #Must-see historic site #Gamgok #Eumseong #Chungbuk #Chungbuk travel destination #Catholic cathedral #Pilgrimage site #Gamgok Maegoe Cathedral #Maegoe pilgrimage site
