Sts. Mary & Nicholas' Anglican Cathedral, Seoul, Korea
On December 21, 1890, Bishop Charles John Copp and his followers who were dispatched from Britain to Joseon for the Anglican mission in Joseon purchased a traditional Korean house in Seoul.
The church was then called the Cathedral of St. Louis. Later, on November 17, 1892, he built a new hanok (traditional house) at the same site and held a ceremony to build it. Later, it purchased the land around the church in 1909 to expand the site

It is a Hanok Building located to the left of the wooden coffin, and it is designated as a registered cultural property by Yangijae of Gyeonggi-do. Gyeongungung Yangjae was built in 1905 and was used as a school for children's education during the Korean Empire. It was used by the Korea Institute of the Arts in 1912 to rent the building. It is now used as the office of the bishop of Seoul of the Anglican Church of Korea.
- Food as lunch
After a brief tour of the church and Hanok, he solved our lunch at a Korean restaurant. I ate kimchi roll noodle and red pepper paste.
Kimchi roll noodle was a little spicy for me who is a Korean. The chili pepper pancakes were made by emptying the inside of the peppers, grinding pork, and frying it in the oil.
Thanks for reading.
