Well, the church itself looks really pretty from outside and it seems like a big part of history. Unfortunately the gates were closed and you were only able to see it from the distance. The whole point of catholic churches is that the doors are always opened for the people. So generally it was disappointing.

This is the first Catholic Church in Jeonju, located just opposite the palace and near the hanok village. No admission fees but take note to be silent when entering the church since it is a holy palace.

A very nostalgic feel to the church. It's a really beautiful church. A pity there was no English service. It was amazing how once you are inside the church, you feel like you are in another dimension.

The staff are unfriendly as hell. We were trying to go for the 5pm mass, but unfortunately 4.50-ish pm is also when they're ushering the non-worshippers out as well. We were rudely shoved out the gate TWICE until I managed to get through to the staff in broken Korean that we were just trying to go for mass!! When I say shoved, I mean shoved - the guard took us by the arm and PUSHED us out. Not an experience I'd care to repeat.
The church itself is beautiful, certainly worth a visit. Try to go before 4.30pm so you don't get manhandled.

The door always seems to be closed. I wanted to go inside the church and pray, but everytime I passed by, the door is always closed. I guess I should have gone and looked. But outside, the structure us veey attractive. Next time, I'll definitely go around the small complex of this church.

Small Catholic Church - yes, pretty architect and lovely stained glass windows but if you are Catholic you will be touched and moved by the powerful presence of the area. I found myself in tears sitting in the pews. This church sits on the site of the first Korean Catholic Martyrs and that spirituality is very clearly present. If you are comfortable with this - please go and allow yourself to be present and you might also find it to be very moving. There are beautiful and poignant statues around the grounds. This appears to be a very popular photo site for locals to dress up in traditional attire - who are totally respectful of the area.

An old church of Korean. Pretty small and almost all of the staffs only use Korean. Okay for being a photo-stop.

Nice looking facade on the outside for a few quick snaps. Access to the hall was prohibited which is where the intricate details of church architecture tends to be

Jeondong Catholic Church is located near the Hanok village (within walking distance). You will pass by here if you're walking to Nambu market from Hanok village. Lovely place to visit and take some photos even if you're not a catholic.
