Saemoonan Church

Jongno District, South Korea · built 1887

The Saemoonan Church is the first organized Presbyterian church in South Korea, established in 1887 by Horace Grant Underwood, an American missionary who also founded Underwood School (now Kyungsin High School and Middle School), Yonhi College (now Yonsei University), and Severance Hospital.
