Lonely Planet review

On the outside the headquarters of this Korean fusion religion is a handsome baroque-style, red-brick and stone church with a tower and spire, but inside it looks like a plain meeting hall with a piano but no altar, statues or paintings. It was completed in 1921 and was used as a centre of opposition to Japanese rule. Cheondogyo is a home-grown creed containing Buddhist, Confucian and Christian elements that was started in 1860 by Choe Suun.
