Site of Yi Byeoks House
(Site of Foundation of the Korean Catholic Church)
After becoming the first Korean to be baptized in Beijing,
Yi Seung-hun (baptismal name Peter) held the frst baptism
rites for the faithful in Korea at Yi Byeoks house, located
near Supyogyo Bridge during the winter of 1784. Yi Byeok
was given the baptismal name of John the Baptist, Jeong
Yak-yong was given the name John the Apostle, and Gweon
Il-sin, Francis Xavier. Koreas first community of faith was
thus created with young scholars at its center, through the
voluntary eforts of laymen. A stone marker was erected with
the inscription, Te Korean Catholic Church was established
at this site, during the winter of the 8
th
year of King Jeongjo
(1784), at Yi Byeoks house located in the vicinity of the
Supyogyo Bridge. The marker is expected to be relocated
to south of the Supyogyo Bridge sometime in the future
following the results of a thorough historical study.

Site of Kim Beom-us House
Kim Beom-u was Koreas first Catholic martyr, and his
house was used to hold services beginning at the end of
1784. Those who participated in these services became
known as the Community of Myeongryebang, but in the
spring of 1785 their gathering was discovered and the group
collapsed shortly after. Kim Beom-u, whose faith stayed
2
strong until the end, was exiled to North Chungcheong
Province and passed away afer receiving his last rites from
the afer-efects of torture.

Seokjeong Boreum Well
Te taste of water was so good at this ancient well in Bukchon
that it was even used by the royal palace. Tis unusual stone well
was called the boreum (fortnight) well, because its water was
clear for 15 days and murky for the next 15 days. Father James
Zhou Wen-mo, a Chinese and the frst foreign Catholic priest in
Korea, crossed the Yalu River on December 17, 1794, and began
to conduct his missionary activities in secret while hiding out in
Bukchon. It is believed that Father Zhou used the water from this
well for baptism as well as for drinking.

Site of the Left Podo-cheong
Te Lef Podo-cheong was the government apparatus in charge
of public order and crime prevention in eastern, southern and
central Seoul as well as the lef Gyeonggi administrative district
during the Joseon era. Afer the Catholics were discovered and
exposed at Kim Beom-us house in 1785, the task of tracking
down Catholics became one of the Left Podo-cheongs most
important duties. Many of the faithful were martyred during
the Catholic persecution by the Podo-cheong, but whether it
was the Left or the Right Podo-cheong that was responsible
is rarely specified in the official records. Most of the records
simply state that the followers were martyred at Podo-cheong.
Te site of the previous Lef Podo-cheong is now occupied by
the Jongno 3-ga Police Box, no doubt attesting to the enduring
role of the initial Podo-cheong.

that were martyred, including Francis Choe Kyong-hwan, Peter
Yu Tae-chol, Paul Ho Hyob, as well as fve of the 124 Servants of
God who are currently undergoing beatifcation including Paul
Yun Yu-il, were either fogged or hung to death, or passed away
while imprisoned at the Podo-cheong. However, since there
were not any shrines or other indicators of their martyrdom,
the Hall of Saints (Hyeonyanggwan) as well as a pilgrimage
information booth were installed at Jongno Catholic Church in
order to continually raise awareness for historical incidents and
the signifcance of the Korean Catholic Church.

the people who had congregated at Kim Beom-us house
to worship were arrested and transferred to Hyeongjo.
Numerous other followers would be sent there later to
9
be investigated. Intense and harsh periods of persecution
and suppression happened throughout the 19
th
century,
including the Catholic Persecutions of 1801, 1839 and
1866, which sent many faithful believers and saints on the
road to martyrdom.

Deguette, along with the believers that resided with him,
were sent to the Gongju Provincial Ofce, where they were
imprisoned until being transferred to the Podo-cheong on
May 29. At the time, official persecution of Catholics had
come to an end, so the group did not experience harsh
physical torture, but starvation instead. Koreas last Catholic
martyrs Leo Yi Byeong-gyo, Paul Kim Deok-bin, and
Isidorus Yi Yong-heon eventually died of hunger.

Seosomun was one of four big and four small gates that
controlled access to Hanseong, the ancient name for Seoul
during the Joseon Dynasty. Outside of Seosomun was an
intersection that was also the official execution grounds
during the Joseon era. There was a market outside the
gates, so whenever corpses were transported through
the gates and out of the city, many people were alerted to
the fact. In 1984, a total of 103 Korean Catholic martyrs
were canonized en masse, a rare event in the history of
religion. Out of the 103 martyrs, 44 male and female
saints and numerous other believers were martyred at the
crossroads outside of Seosomun Gate. Great numbers of
pilgrims continue to visit the 44 saints commemorated at
the Catholic Martyrs Shrine, which was built so that their
deaths would not be forgotten.

Jungnim-dong Yakhyeon Catholic Church
Located in Jungnim-dong, Yakhyeon Catholic Church became
a parish church under the governance of the Archdiocese of
Seoul on November 9, 1891. It is Seouls second consecrated
parish church the first being Myeongdong Cathedral
and responsible for the upkeep of the Seosomun Catholic
Martyrs Shrine. Tough smaller than Myeongdong Cathedral,
Yakhyeon was the frst Catholic church to be built in Korea, as
well as being the nations frst Gothic church. Due to the lack
of skilled labor and resources, the church is a compromise
between Romanesque and Gothic styles, and its main
structure and form have been kept rather simple. However, the
concise arched pillars of the church and its round stained glass
windows seem to become more antique and beautiful as time
passes. Yakhyeon Catholic Church was designated a national
historic landmark a rare distinction for Korean churches.
Located inside the church grounds, the Seosomun Martyrs
Memorial Center displays the catechisms and devotional
books that were used by Korean Catholic martyrs during
the early period of the four waves of persecutions, the family
tree of the Seosomun martyr Kang Wan-suk, and various
documents lef behind by visiting French missionaries.

the merchants at Seosomun learned of the planned execution,
they requested that it be moved elsewhere, because their sales
from the large end-of-the-year fair would be impacted. Tus,
the execution grounds were moved to Danggogae. Among the
executed were three mothers with young children, so the site
is also referred to as Mothers Shrine.

Hyeong, Tomas Hong Bong-ju and others were buried in secret
here after being martyred at the execution grounds outside of
Seosomun Gate. Previously, Waegogae had been occupied by a

Yakhyeon Catholic Church in Jungmin-dong.

Jeoldusan, formerly called Jamdubong Peak because of the
mountains resemblance to the head of a silkworm, is among
the most significant historic sites for the Korean Catholic
Church. Hundreds of Catholics were executed here during the
most severe period of persecutions: the Byeongin Persecution
of 18661873. So many Catholics lost their heads here
that the site became known as jeoldu (to truncate) and san
(mountain). Te Jeoldusan Martyrs Museum, located on the
same grounds, is known for enshrining the largest number of
Korean martyrs, including the remains of the countrys frst
bishop, Paul Noh Gi-nam. Te Jeoldusan Martyrs Shrine is a
