When establishing a parish, there was a pattern that all presbyteries were built in a Western brick style while the church was first built in a Western wooden style to be used as a temporary church and later a brick parish was built or a Western wooden style building imitating the brick one was constructed as a permanent parish. It is judged that Western wooden style buildings were preferred because they were more modern with a lower construction cost than Korean style ones. The church plan is mainly composed of a rectangle with no distinction between Nave and Aisle, and its structure is divided into a brick style and a Western wooden one and its format are not more varied than other regions. It is a characteristic of this region that the Western-style building is finished with wire mesh mortar to imitate the brick style. The church built in 1930 under the jurisdiction of the Missionary Society of Saint Columban, applied a module of 3.65m in size setting. The interval between the side bays is 3.65m and the front also reaches to 2 or 3 times of the module. In the mid-and-late 1950s, there was a common phenomenon of increasing the size of the church, such as the expansion of little buildings and the expansion of three bays to increase the size of a nave. This is attributable to the sharp increase in Catholic believers after the Korean War, which particularly stands out in the late 1950s.
