The Catholic Church in Pungsuwon was built mainly by believers who migrated to escape Catholic persecution. Pungsuwon Catholic Church is the 4th Catholic Church built in Korea, and the first Catholic Church built by a Korean priest. The Pungsuwon parish had jurisdiction over 29 public offices in 12 cities and counties, including Chuncheon, Wonju, Hwacheon, Yanggu, Hongcheon, Hoengseong, Pyeongchang, and Yangpyeong. Located in Yuhyeon-ri, Seowon-myeon, Hoengseong-gun, Pungsuwon Catholic Church was designated as a tangible cultural property of Gangwon-do in 1982. The Pungsuwon Museum is located behind the Pungsuwon Catholic Church and is a relics exhibition hall consisting of 3 exhibition facilities on the 2nd floor. During the persecution of the Catholic Church, over 1,000 objects used by priests to celebrate mass and 1,000 relics that give a glimpse into the lives of the ancestors in the past are exhibited.
