History
The church was established in 1892 by the French Catholic missionary Fr. Eugene Jean Georges Coste of the Society of Foreign Missions of Paris, as a result of Korea gaining religious freedom in 1886.
It was the first Catholic church to be established in the city, and it was the first Gothic-style church in Korea.
