St. Paul's Cathedral[1] (Korean: 답동 주교좌 성당), also known as Incheon Cathedral and Dapdong Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in Incheon,[2] South Korea's third largest city.[3]
The church was designed by Fr. Eugene Cost (of the Paris Foreign Missions Society[4]) in a mixture of styles, including Neo-Gothic and Neo-Romanesque.
The Latin rite church serves as the seat of the Diocese of Incheon (Dioecesis Inchonensis or 인천 교구) which was created in 1962 by Pope John XXIII.
