A quiet emotion felt at Incheon Bishop's Cathedral Dapdong
On the afternoon of February 22, I visited Incheon Bishop's Cathedral Dapdong and was captivated by its quiet beauty. Completed in 1897, it is Korea's first Western-style Gothic building, and the red bricks and arched windows create a grand yet warm atmosphere. As I entered, the light coming in through the stained glass softly colored the entire cathedral, calming my mind.
📌 Points for solo travelers
Hidden spot: Garden behind the cathedral → A good place to take pictures while quietly contemplating
Recommended experience: Take a moment to meditate while admiring the stained glass inside
Recommended snack: Warm honey latte (6,000 won) sold at 'Dapdong Cafe' near the cathedral
🚨 Notes
Quiet viewing is required inside (may be during worship)
No flash use when taking pictures
Be careful to protect the facilities when walking around the garden
At around 5 o'clock, I finished the day by taking pictures with the silhouette of the cathedral in the sunset. The phrase "Space of peace and love" written on the guide left a deep impression on me. I want to visit again in the spring when the flowers bloom in the garden. 🌸
