The old church building constructed in 1949 was demolished, and a new building was built in 2014. The new Gahoe-dong Catholic Church is remarkably characterized by the juxtaposition of traditional hanok and modern architecture. The two different styles were not made into a melange, but juxtaposed so that people can feel the different charms at the same time.
The building expresses a Korean gentleman wearing hanbok putting his arms around a blue-eyed foreign priest. The low-built hanok, giving Korean traditional vibes to the area that was losing such atmosphere, and the western-style church behind it catch the eyes of passers-by. While the construction project was planned on a large lot of 3,300 square meters, the project divided up construction into three buildings matching the atmosphere of the neighborhood. Natural materials were mainly used and stained glass was used minimally to enhance the charm of hanok architecture.
The hanok building was built using Korean red pine (Pinus densiflora) by a master carpenter of intangible cultural heritage to create high-quality results. As it is a religious building, you can find various religious elements inside. The miracle of five loaves of bread and two fish is engraved on the tiles of the roof. Such small details make us imagine the time when the priest who majored in architecture and the architect in charge of design shared their opinions to settle on the design of the buildings.

Jangneung Royal Tomb is a historic royal burial site located in Yeongwol. It is the tomb of King Danjong, the sixth king of the Joseon Dynasty. King Danjong of Joseon ascended to the throne at a young age but was later dethroned by his uncle, King Sejo of Joseon. After being exiled to Yeongwol, Danjong tragically died there. Jangneung was later established as his royal tomb, honoring his legacy.
The tomb is set in a serene natural landscape surrounded by mountains and forests, reflecting traditional Korean royal tomb architecture, which harmonizes with nature based on Confucian principles. Visitors can explore the burial mound, stone statues, and ceremonial pathways that represent the dignity of a king.
Today, Jangneung is part of the Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty, recognized by UNESCO for their historical and cultural significance. It is a peaceful and meaningful destination where visitors can learn about Korean history while enjoying the beauty of nature.

Nami Island declared its cultural independence on 01 March 2006 and re-named itself the Naminara Republic (Namisun).
The Naminara Republic is an imaginary country, but it has invented its own passport, currency, stamp and telephone card, and has promoted the establishment of Naminara in other countries. A "passport" issued from Naminara is required to enter the Namisum.
A special feature of Namiseom Island is that there are no telephone poles. This is because all electric wires were built underground to keep the natural feeling of the landscape. The island is 553,560 square yards with chestnut trees and poplar trees throughout.
In the middle of the isle, there is a grass field about 316,320 square yards. It features education and training facilities and camping sites. The island also has a swimming pool and water-sports facilities for motorboats and water skiing, as well as a theme park with a merry-go-round, shooting range, and roller skating rink.
