Discover Incheon's Historic Gem: Naedong Anglican Church A Must-Visit Historical Site in Incheon When planning your trip to Incheon, South Korea, Naedong Anglican Church (인천내동성공회성당) should be at the top of your itinerary. This historic church, nestled in the Jung-gu district, offers a unique glimpse into Korea's rich history and architectural heritage. The Rich History of Naedong Anglican Church The history of Naedong Anglican Church dates back to September 29, 1890, when six British missionaries, including Reverend Charles John Corfe, set foot in Incheon to begin their missionary work. The first church building was completed on September 30, 1891, marking the establishment of the first Anglican church in Korea. In 1902, the church served briefly as the Russian Consulate and from 1904 to 1956, it functioned as an Anglican theological seminary. Unfortunately, the original building was destroyed during the Korean War (1950-1953). The church was reconstructed and reopened on June 23, 1956, restoring its historical significance. Architectural Marvel Naedong Anglican Church stands as a testament to medieval architectural styles combined with traditional Korean elements. The robust stone structure, with its granite walls and major components, exudes the charm of medieval European architecture. The wooden trusses supporting the roof, however, incorporate traditional Korean design, blending the two cultures seamlessly. The intricate detailing on the windows and wall panels further adds to the building's architectural splendor.

Korean Deung-Jan Museum
Gyeonggi-do(Yongin-si) , Yongin

Deungjan (등잔, Korean lamps) that used to light up the nights in Korea, and have all but disappeared into the ‘back streets’ of history, have now been gathered together in one place – the Korean Deung-Jan Museum (한국등잔박물관) – where their enchanting flames are once again illuminating Korea. Based on materials that were collected for roughly 40 years by the now octogenarian Dr. Kim Dong-hwi, the Korean Deung-Jan Museum was established in September 1997 as a theme museum of Gyeonggi Province in Neungwon-ri, Mohyeon-myeon, Yongin City, Gyeonggi Province. The museum was built to mimic the image of the fortress walls in Hwaseong, Suwon, and as a result the building bears a resemblance to a lighthouse. The first and second floors of the building, which has one underground floor and three floors above ground, are exhibition halls. The basement floor is a rest area for seminars and a wide range of performances. There is also an outdoor exhibition space that measures around 2,644 m2 and includes native rocks, various types of trees, and a pond.
