Seoul’s Hidden Europe | 100-Year-Old Cathedral & Secret Rooftop

Hidden between the skyscrapers of central Seoul is a scene that feels like Europe from a hundred years ago. Seoul Anglican Cathedral stands out with its red brick walls, warm orange roof tiles, rounded arches, and Romanesque architecture. Designed by British architect Arthur S. Dixon, construction began in 1922, and the cathedral was consecrated in 1926. A century later, it remains one of Seoul’s most distinctive historic buildings. Just beside the cathedral is Cecil Maru, a free rooftop retreat offering a remarkable close-up view of the cathedral’s roof and bell tower. We’ll also explore the quieter side of the cathedral grounds, including Yangijae Hall—a historic building from Gyeongungung Palace—and the charming clergy house hidden behind the cathedral.
